M3 trigger sticky

[gyeghoian]

When I go to pull trigger back on first stage ( the travel amount creep ) and it rest up against 2nd stage …..and I don’t pull trigger it won’t spring back on its own it sticks….. kinda weird ? Any suggestions. It should spring back, maybe I adjust sensitivity to much , been adjusting triggers for awhile now and never had this issue

Yes it's an adjustment issue. I had it as well when I was first tuning mine. I don't recall which screw more directly affects this, but since they are closely related you'll have to tweak both anyway.

I think you need to increase the second stage weight, or get a stronger return spring.

If your use is strictly target or bench shooting, and you don't require a two-stage trigger, you can adjust out the first stage travel and just have a single stage trigger. Be aware, this means that the trigger roll is advanced to it's second stage stop, so sear engagement is minimal, and not recommended for anything but a controlled target environment. I would never use it in the field when adjusted that way. You will read that some people adjust it this way for general use, but IMO it is not safe. However, it does avoid the trigger return issue.
