What if my trigger has a heavy pull-weight out of the box?

If you're experiencing a heavier than normal pull weight with your new AR Gold trigger, there are a couple of potential causes we recommend investigating.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Safety Selector Interference:

   • The first and easiest test is to remove the safety selector from your lower receiver.
   • Reassemble the rifle without the safety selector installed.
   • Perform a dry fire test.
   • If the heavy pull weight issue resolves, it indicates a tolerance issue with your safety selector. This is not uncommon, as safety selectors are not standardized.

2. Potential Grime or Debris:

   • If the heavy pull weight persists even without the safety selector, it's possible that some grime or debris has entered the trigger mechanism.
   • In this case, the trigger might require cleaning.

Next Steps:

• Test and Report: Please perform the safety selector test and report your findings to us. This will help us determine the appropriate follow-up solution.
• Cleaning or Inspection: Depending on the outcome of the test, we may recommend cleaning the trigger or sending it in for inspection.

Key Takeaways:

• A heavy pull weight could be caused by safety selector interference or grime.
• Removing the safety selector and performing a dry fire test is the first step.
• Contact us with your test results for further assistance.
