A&S trigger guard problems

Well said. One major standout I like about them is that it's machined from a piece of billet aluminum and every single edge on the piece is broken- a very nice touch. Then there's the superior finish and blah, blah, blah...?

fan boy.?

The OEM aluminum frames remind me of old Colt AR15 receivers. They’re rough, loads of flashing that was never filed off. Pitting everywhere from impurities in the aluminum. 

 

I have ave never seen any issues with a polymer trigger frame. They’re a little lighter than the aluminum model too. I personally carry polymer framed guns on duty and for concealed carry. They’re striker fired evil too! Fewer problems with them in my experience than hammer guns. Fewer wait a minutes. 

 

Having said that, the A&S frames are the best. I don’t use the ramp either. I just want a smooth functioning trigger platform that can be plated. 

Do you have the A&S NP3+ plated?

Completely agree with that... I've only seen 5 OEM trigger guards and they all had flaws.  Haven't seen any in A&S ones... but then again I've only handled three.  Two for M4s and one for an M3

I have a Briley trigger set and the hammer fit was way too tight in the hammer channel of the triggerguard. The parts assembled but did not function. As a quick fix I used lapping compound and worked the two parts by hand until the fit was nice and smooth. I have some concern that the fit is still too tight for dirty combat conditions and I plan to widen the channel on the mill next time I have it apart. and before any re-coating for color.

Did you have Briley assemble your trigger group with the A&S trigger guard and they sent it back to you nonfunctional? or did you assemble it yourself?

This was a long time ago and happened with the first generation A&S trigger guard. I did the assembly. I later put the Trigger Guard on my Bridgeport mill to add something like 0.020" clearance to the channel for perfect function. I later sold that gen 1 trigger guard cheap (with full disclosure) as I wanted a newer, second generation A&S trigger guard that was factory coated internally with the deeper black color. The second generation trigger guard was dimensionally perfect. 

Nowadays one can buy the A&S trigger guard and Briley trigger as a package from Briley. 

 

Be Well,
