One of the big downsides of a bullpop is the weird trigger. While I don't mind the trigger to much, and frankly haven't used enough precision guns to even know what the hell a great trigger is, I still figured I'd address it and see if I can make it a little more crisp.
Rat Worx sells an aluminum sear that you put into the trigger pack to replace the plastic sear. All the parts except the pins, springs and safety lever in the AUG trigger pack are plastic oddly enough.
The part is not cheap, its $100 for a small piece of metal. I've had good experiences with Rat Worx in the past and don't mind the premium.
Well, it doesn't work correctly. It actually makes the rifle dangerous. The part doesn't appear to be the exact same or at least needed dimensions. Searching the internet shows many instances from 2021 of people having to remove material from the trigger pack housing in order to have it correctly work. One person stated rat worx would mill off some material from the sear for it to fit, however, the customer had to pay for shipping both ways.
With the new sear in, the trigger has what's essentially 75% of the trigger pull dead space. So dead actually that the trigger isn't rebounding when you let off pressure, it's hung on something. Looking at the pack and reproducing a slow pull, the sear is actually hanging on the hammer. The dead space with no rebound is due to the hammer being able to rest on the sear while resisting the triggers spring to put it back into its normal spot. In other words, its a hair from firing and it's not going back to its default spot till you pull that trigger.
The trigger break itself is a mess due to it being hung.
Normally I wouldnt post something like this unless the company refused to help. However, given that there are a LOT of recent complaints about this Rat Worx doesn't get the pass on the initial public red flag. They know this part is having problems fitting into a lot of trigger packs, and they are charging $100 for it. Not cool.
I will update the thread with what Rat Worx decides to do. I hope they make it right without trying to make me pay to ship back a defective part for repairs. Not going to be thrilled with them. I also don't really want to remove material off my trigger pack.
