Help CenterA slight amount of wiggle or looseness in your AR Gold trigger within the lower receiver is fairly common and often perfectly normal. This is due to a combination of factors related to the AR platform's design and manufacturing tolerances.
Understanding Tolerances:
- Mil-Spec Variations: The Mil-Spec design of the AR platform allows for a certain degree of tolerance in lower receiver dimensions. This means that some lowers may be slightly wider than others.
- Trigger Housing Tolerances: We also allow for a small amount of tolerance within our trigger housing.
Why This Is Normal:
- This slight wiggle is a common occurrence with drop-in triggers, including our AR Gold.
- It does not typically affect the trigger's mechanics or performance.
Recommendations:
- Avoid DIY Shims: We strongly advise against attempting to use makeshift shims or other modifications to eliminate the wiggle. These modifications can introduce other issues and potentially damage your firearm.
- Trust the Design: The tolerances are built in to the design, and tested.
Key Takeaways:
- A slight wiggle in your trigger is often normal.
- It is due to Mil-Spec tolerances and our trigger housing design.
- Do not attempt to use shims or modifications.
