: trigger sticking
: -=ed June 26, 2006, 08:51:58 AM

I have an S1K with about 400 rounds thru it.

Every once in a while, the trigger sticks, and if I slowly apply pressure, it suddenly lets go and fires.

Any idea why this is so?

Any way, in general, to accelerate the trigger breakin?

thanks

It may be that the trigger blade itself is rubbing against the trigger housing. The housing where the fat pin rides in the slot in the trigger housing quite often has rough edges on the corners. Pop the stock off and look at it. If so, remove the trigger blade and  file off the rough corners.  Also, sometimes the safety lockout drags on the trigger if not fully disengaged. If that's not it you may need to pop the trigger out and clean it up. It may have some trash in it.

There is no "acceleration" process, just a matter of shooting it and wearing it in.
