troubles with ssa install


edgecrusher

Recommended Posts

i got home from work this morning and i am having a hell of a time with this. i swapped out the trigger but the ssa seems like its way too tight in my pws. the hammer won't go and i'm a little confused that i did something wrong. everything went together ok but no go on the function test. help <dontknow>. it appears that the hammer is rubbing the receiver facing the magwell. do i take some out of the receiver or the trigger? is the part defective? i am going to put the factory trigger in to see what happens

the factory trigger fires no problem, and i can't really see the ssa rubbing, it goes in harder than the factory trigger, but it just doesn't release from the trigger.***update, re-installed ssa and if i have an 1/8"punch in there its ok, but as soon as i put the pin in it stiffens.

ok upon further inspection i am going with this. the hammer is rubbing the receiver with the pin in and not with the punch because of the small play i have using the 1/8 punch, but where does this leave me? with an expensive piece of poo? do i try to relieve some room on the inside of the receiver or on the bottom of the hammer where it rubs. i don't want to do either considering neither of these were purchased with me play cnc in mind or that i was going to do more than pop pins and play. btw, my pws receiver says si on the inside, as in si defense? :o

ok, done. :P quick recap: i called geisselle and was told to take some material off the hammer and or the receiver, being careful of the j-hook in the hammer as it holds the piece together. i had to take out a lot :o. they said it was because the receiver wasn't mil spec… we all know that we are going to run into this from time to time on this platform. i did no hit my receiver because if it came to that i was just going to put the oe trigger group back in. here are after pics, didn't think to take before till it was too late but i took a lot off, believe me. only question i have now is now that there is bare metal, do i have to coat it and with what?

There should be nothing at all wrong with a Geissele trig setup, and it shouldn't require any fitting at all to your rifle - you need to give them a call and explain the problem that you're having.  You'll have a satisfactory answer by the time you get off the phone.  <thumbsup>

yes, i called and that was the technical advice i was given.  "and since there is no industry standard for those types( assuming he meant ar10) you may make fitment adjustments."  no biggie, it's in, dry functions, took off appr .060" which i thought was a lot but i was able to get it done without harming the jay hook. i can't find cold blue, but several alternatives on brownells. after all this, i am getting itchy to build, thank you guys  :o, as i removed and installed the trigger group and safety…. at least 15 times. it will be a while and a .556 gun, i don't have one, and i'm looking at larue's stealth set. and i will probably use a geiselle trigger, without hesitation, because really like their feel.
