Geissele DMR install problem

[.308LiteHunter]

I finally got some time to swap out my trigger with the DMR and I'm having an issue.

I couldn't get the hammer to release.

 

So I reinstalled it, checked again to make sure the trigger was clearing the safety, installed the hammer, cocked it and pulled on the trigger, nothing.

 

I checked that it wasn't getting hung up on the front of the lower and I can see some daylight there so that's good.

 

Finally I just kept squeezing the trigger and it finally functioned. Did it again and it functioned, however I'm applying WAY more pull than needed for this trigger.

 

What am I missing guys?

Update-

 

The trigger is actually catching on the trigger guard.

 

First stage works fine, then as the second stage begins the bottom of the trigger runs into the trigger guard.

Mine did the same. Had to take a little off the bottom of the trigger. Have fun I love mine

Ok, so just file a little off. Did you coat it with anything?

Yep thats all I did. Nope no coating. Seems to only b an issue on flat trigger guards like the dpms lower

I filed mine just enough to hit the guard right after it breaks at a flat angle so no bind and 0 over travel

Would winter guard help ??? I use RRA winter guards and MagPul trigger guards.Just my 2 mags.

Not on a lower with a fixed trigger guard
