I called to ask about the problems I had timing my new mini comp with the included crush washer. Without hesitation, he sent me three new washers. This was Tuesday, they arrived today! First glance told the whole story. I measured my original one, 0.102" thick. The three Todd sent were 0.151", 0.155" and 0.159", and the taper was visible even to my eyes. The original crush washer was defective. Okay, TNArms is done. Mine is .135 and the taper on yours are much steeper than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoytFlinger Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Does anyone have a DMR in their MKM? My trigger tail sits so far back I don't see how any safety will clear the trigger tail. Elftmann push button doesn't even come close to clearing. Got a guy at work that is going to trade me a standard ambi safety on Monday so I will try then, but don't see how it can work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 STD AR 15 safety/selector sits over the Trigger Tail & when engaged , it blocks Trigger movement . When disengaged , there is a cut in the barrel of the Safety to allow Trigger movement . Not sure what you mean by clearing the trigger tail .

The trigger tail sits so far back that the cut in the barrel would have to be wafer thin to allow the trigger tail movement. I call it tail as that is what Geissele called it. It just seems that it is too far back to allow movement or clearance as I called it. I'll try a standard safety. Sorry. Probably just my ignorance of the system.

survivalshop Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nothing to be sorry about , you are dealing with non std components & even the high $ ones , may need fitment . 3 hours ago, HoytFlinger said: The Elftmann safety hits the barrel of the safety. That's what I meant by clearing. I'm pretty sure , from what I see of the photo of the Elftmann safety , the barrel is that safety & the cut or turned down area is where the the action is " OFF " Safe , to allow Trigger movement to fire the Rifle. The rear area of the Trigger is the Tail as you have described & the Trigger on a AR doesn't have a lot of movement to work . Lower Receiver manufacturers don't follow the same spec's on manufacturing , so some Receivers may require fitment of non std components , some make them so they are proprietary, to use theirs & theirs only components , even though they say they take std 308AR components ( DPMS ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks because I really wanted the Elftmann to work as I don't care for AR style safeties. I have a Dremel, but if I try to grind on it to fit and doesn't work then I am out of the trade I already set up. I sent Elftmann an email and tried to call them, but they haven't responded and never pick up their phone. The only trigger they state it isn't compatible with is the Hyperfire. Well I found another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yea that's the problem elftmann, I called them out on Instagram his excuse was they were slammed. the problem with that is I tried getting ahold of them last spring, and I called them out about a month back. Farkle had the same issue with them. I won't be purchasing any of their products anymore. If your in social media call them out on one of their public posts they got back to me in a week or so "I just saw your comment on video... if you are having reset issues turn adjustment screw clockwise until trigger resets. customer service number is 602-773-9159" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unforgiven Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Everyones different,the star selector fit me just right.I bought a few of the Battle Arms development selector just because they were forum sponsors.They in my opinion were alot more money and weren't any better the the RRA selector IMHO.
