What exactly is meant by "dead trigger"? Details man, details. Otherwise it;s like asking your mechanic what's wrong with your car just telling him it's going kathump, kathump.

 

Well seeing as the bolt isn't going into full battery, the trigger isn't set to fire almost the same feel if the safety is on. I can rattle 20 rounds or so off and then the problem shows up. The gun never gave me any issues until I installed the Power customs kit and as I said the install was very easy.

I can manually rack it and it will fire every round but cycling on it's own power is when the issue arises..

Thnx for the quick reply BlKHawk73!!!!

 

Ok, well, could you see anything that was keeping the bolt from moving completely forward? Gotta stop and look when these occur as after the fact it's harder to say. Also, did you change the hammer spring when you put in the PC parts? Going to a lighter one can cause issues of different kinds but usually its reliable ignition issues associated with that change. Heavier ones can also be a culprit for an issue.

 

Yup, changed the hammer spring as well the spring behind the trigger and the spring in the trigger/sear. I couldn't see anything holding the bolt back.

Should I go back to the stock hammer spring?

 

I'd go back and change it out to the factory one. It really offers nothing of a improvement to go with a lighter one. After 15+ builds, all using the factory housing still retain the factory hammer spring.

Also, did you replace the hammer or the hammer and sear along with the springs?

 

Done. Now I need to get back to the club and run it.

Thanks for all the help BlKHawk73!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I forgot to answer your question above about Hammer and sear. I did replace the hammer and sear along with spring. I bought the kit at Cabellas..

 

Went and tried it this afternoon with the stock hammer spring and first 25rnd mag emptied fine, then the second 10rnd mag the issues started again.

I believe the Butler creek folding stock is part of the problem being that the stock doesn't hold the trigger group tight like the stock, stock allowing the pins to travel.. The trigger groups pins fall out by just taking the gun apart. I end up with the Mag release/bolt hold pin out on the floor immediately and the trigger pin was part way out. These pins should have a bit of a tighter tolerance. I'm gonna try the same setup in the stock wooden stock and see what happens..

 

The loose pins shouldn't be a factor since they can only move a very slight amount once in the stock and certainly not enough to have any parts fall off their axis. Don't discount that it could be the mag. Weak spring, not enough tension (ever taken it apart?), etc can cause problems.

 

I agree BlkHawk but the trigger pin was out on one side of the trigger housing when I took it out of the folding stock.

I have 10 ruger 10rnd mags and 4-25rnd Ruger BX mags

 

Have you cleaned the chamber?

If I read your posts correct, the rifle is just short of completely returning to battery. If the rifle is that far into the cycle the TG should not the problem.

 

Cleaned religiously and cleaned again last night and frog lubed everything, great stuff..

 

I called Power Customs and spoke to a fella named Randal. He said the hammer is following and binding the bolt and he has the fix. I have to send it to him and he's gonna straighten it out for a $5 shipping charge..

Thanks for all the help fellas..

 

Any wear marks on the top radius of the hammer?

 

Yes, very little but noticeable.
