AR 15 trigger not resetting SOLVED!

[DutchV]

Lots of AR trigger parts are surface hardened, not though-hardened. I'd swap them out instead of trying to adjust them.

Ar 15 trigger not resetting, solved! Again! But for real!

I goofed. I can not besmerch the good name of Anderson (Outrider58 ) and have to own up to a mistake I made. Thanks again to 3Paul10 and John from MD for pointing me to a weak trigger spring. I had it installed incorrectly. No doubt the AR will function properly when I take it back out in a week or two. I didn't take a photo while the trigger was out, but in the photos I drew what the issue was. I didn't have the spring tucked under the leg of the trigger, which made the reset tension very weak.

I checked my other AR build and it seems this was a one off dyslexic mistake.

Thank you MDS

Glad you found the culprit. It sure saves some grey hairs.

I'm sure Lonnie will forgive us...

(It's usually the other spring that gets discombobulated)

Thanks for sharing the problem and the fix.

Tested the rifle out today. 80 rounds of Federal 5.56 no issues.

Nicely done.
