AR hammer sear unilateral edge wear, trigger holes off, issue?

[Svetlana]

After a couple of function tests, I noticed the hammer sear has slightly more wear on the right side (see highlighted oval below).



Eye'ing the hammer and trigger, I think the left trigger hole is slightly back or the right hole is slightly front, causing the trigger to be at a slight angle (barely visible, and hard to tell in the photo). I measured but couldn't find any errors (yes this is an 80% lower with Stag Arms LPK).

Will this be an issue? I'd hate to try and fix something that may not be broke?

not broken gtg...

No, it's not an issue. It looks like a normal low cost cheap trigger. If you want a nicer trigger, gotta pay up.

Or you Could have a experience trigger in a High End Noveske lower which are machined by Low End JD Machine.

dont worry about it i put a gob of anti seize paste on the engagement surfaces its just breaking in

[Svetlana]

Ok, thanks. Again, it's a Stag Arms LPK ("supposedly" better than DMS). I re-measured the holes and they are exact. Have no idea why the trigger is like that.

As long as it doesn't break and slam fire on me I'll be happy. It's my very first rifle btw.

It's probably like that because the engagement surfaces are uneven. It's one of the reasons(not for the cosmetic issue, rather the effect that the surfaces not being so great has on the pull, among other things) people pay $150+ for triggers. A generic trigger in an LPK from company X is going to be pretty much the same as a generic trigger in an LPK from company Y(it'll get the job done, not be amazing).

It's a touchy job, but you could remove the trigger and polish both mating surfaces. Check out this video. It should get rid of the uneven wear.

It's only an "issue" if, for some reason, the trigger pull feels abnormal.

So, what's the trigger feel like?? How does the gun shoot with iron sights and you at the standing position??

How's that work when the owner of Stag Arms is the son of the owner of CMT, NOT Lewis Machine and Tool??

NO, it is not an issue. That is normal for a production rifle, and it is part of the combined tolerances of all the parts. If you paid $5,000 for the rifle, I would complain to the manufacturer.

If it bothers you, you could try to rotate the sear spring (in the trigger) 180 degrees. I don't know if it will do anything, but it might apply more pressure to the opposite side.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue. An issue meaning like it would cause the trigger to wear abnormally fast.

I caught that I wrote lmt by mistake and then corrected it but I guess the correction didn't post.
