Help CenterThe reset distance of the AR Gold trigger is approximately 0.039 inches (39 thousandths of an inch).
Understanding Reset Distance:
Reset distance refers to the distance the trigger must travel forward after firing before it resets and is ready to fire again. A shorter reset distance allows for faster follow-up shots, as the shooter doesn't have to release the trigger as far.
- Importance of Reset Distance:
- A short reset promotes faster shooting cadence.
- It enhances control during rapid fire sequences.
- It contributes to improved accuracy by minimizing unnecessary trigger movement.
AR Gold Trigger Reset Distance:
The AR Gold trigger is engineered for a very short reset, facilitating rapid and accurate follow-up shots. Our design achieves a reset distance of approximately 0.039 inches.
Factors Affecting Reset Distance:
While our triggers are designed for a consistent reset, slight variations can occur due to the AR platform's design:
- Safety Selector Variations:
- In the AR platform, the safety selector acts as an over-travel stop when the firearm is set to "SAFE."
- Slight variations in the dimensions and positioning of the safety selector can influence the over-travel and, consequently, the reset distance.
- More over-travel will result in a slightly longer reset distance.
- Practical Considerations:
- In practice, these variations are typically very small and often imperceptible to the shooter.
- The .039" measurement is a very accurate average.
Key Takeaways:
- Reset distance is the distance the trigger travels forward to reset.
- A shorter reset allows for faster follow-up shots.
- The AR Gold trigger has a reset distance of approximately 0.039 inches.
- Slight variations in safety selector dimensions can cause minor differences in reset distance, but these are typically negligible.
