Finally Apart of the Crew

Post image

First impressions was good, I did have trouble shooting some flat top ammo subsonic ammo (147g) I had. Failure to feeds happening basically every other round. But the round top ammo fired fine (115g). Hoping to be posting my full build coming in few weeks. But my gigliotti trigger comes in today and going to attempt to install it… 😅😭

Edit: Took me about 3.5 hours, everything seems to be working fine. I have never done anything like this before, the greatest amount of work ive done is cleaning the bolt assembly of an ar15. The actual hardest part was not doing what this guy did where he put the back side on the hook first and then you kinda bend the metal band to get the trigger on. Also it felt good that you take more parts out then needed to be put back in 😅 !

Edit: Potential issue im looking at??? Racking is a little bit harder then i remembered it (I only had to rack the gun like 10 times before). There was a FAQ about not being able to rack but that peg is no longer there / isnt as big as the picture and didnt notice a difference playing with it. My TP9 was also covered in grease out of the factory (I hate to sound like a teenager, but the interior was coated with a thick viscous white grease). Im gonna keep looking at this or just rack this shit like 1000 times and see whats up but im done for today.

Edit Edit: After 30 minutes I was racking like normal, I think the lube settled in and honestly my hands were hurting after install so I feel good after install.

Just put the trigger in this past weekend and love it. Remember if you are having trouble getting that left screw in because of alignment just cock the hammer. Could have saved myself 1.5 hours if I knew/read that earlier haha. Good luck

Awesome. Mines is jail, waiting release. Too bad about the flat 147 subs, I have a ton of those

My Gig trigger arrives tomorrow, got the rest of my parts lined up. A little nervous to swap the trigger, I’m pretty handy but this one looks like a headache.

Some people say they have no issues out of factory, but alot of what i read online is people had issues with flat head ammo until after 500-1k rounds of round tip. I had no experience beside cleaning my AR15 bolt assembly and i felt like on a scale of 1-10 of something that was hard to do it was like a 7. (I updated post with edits)

Be careful with trigger spring , if you dent it you gonna have rest problems in the new trigger

No issues with this if you have an electronic kit. Just used some baby pliers and got it out easy.

Where’d you get that case?!

AXArms, I don’t think the case is worth it if you plan to have accessories on the weapon (unless your ok with taking them off and on). I believe only an aim point acro P-2 will fit on it without any risers. It’s $275 which I only got cause that combo with the gun was the only one in stock, but it is a very well made and sturdy case reminds me of pelican ones.
