    help with adjusting Geissele trigger spring

    Posted a thread here a few weeks ago and just got my trigger. I called Geissele before my order was sent out and asked for heavier springs and the operator told me no problem. I cant recall his name which is a derp on my part and I should of wrote it down...

    Got my SSA-E and no extra springs. Called Geissele and they told me no such springs exist which was the totaled opposite from what I was told before, but anyway...

    He told me I can add weight to the first stage by bending the trigger spring legs. I don't want to mess up a 230$ trigger so I was curious if anyone else has done this.

    If you lay your AR on the ground in front of you with the barrel on your right and the magazine pointing toward your feet with the ejection port side up, do you bend the trigger spring legs forward toward the coil, or bend them backwards away from the coil to add more tension to the first stage?

    Watch out everyone Genius at work here! I feel like this a dumb question, but a question non the less, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

    Open or "unwind" the coils to add more spring tension.

      Have you even shot it yet? Curious why you would risk ruining a perfectly good spring without first trying the trigger out.

        hmm ok. Can you literally " unwind " the coil by forcing the legs or should I just bend the legs backward and not "unwind" the coil but just bend them far back enough??

          I figured it out. unwound the spring and got a little extra weight now. Wish I had a trigger gauge to measure it but I can feel a difference. Thanks Tanakasan
