I have the kidd trigger job kit in one of my rifles. originally I thought the pre-travel set screw moved to where the trigger wouldn't go back far enough for the rifle to fire. I figure, I would turn that out and see if that was it, no dice still didn't work. I thought hell I'll take it apart to see if something is binding. While doing this I lost the seer spring. couldn't find it so I decided to use one I had out of the stock ruger parts I have laying around and now the trigger works perfect, I don't understand how or why this happened. Could it have been the seer spring that came with the kit screwed up some how? or did I just put a band-aid on something more serious? I have three trigger groups with this kit in them and this is the only one that is doing this. the rest have more rounds through them and zero failures.
Without more info, kinda hard to be definite as to what the problem was. Was this in a polymer housing or an alloy one? It can make a difference I'm told as the alloy ones did have minute differences is tolerances and hold alignment. Still where a spring change apparently made the difference, I'm wondering if there was simply a misalignment of something inside.
it's in the polymer housing like it was suppose to be in. ran about 300 rounds through it flawlessly and then it wouldn't fire. like the set screw in the trigger blade moved back to far and the sear wouldn't release the hammer. However I was able to find the sear spring that went flying last night. I'm going to put it back in and see if it malfunctions again. I think I'm going to be calling kidd and see what they have to say about it. Cause I'm stuck and I've asked over at RFC and no one has answer over there either.
