I want to love this but can’t - OpticsPlanet Exclusive RISE Armament RA-434 High Performance Trigger

I purchased two of these, the second one after I liked the first one so much. My problem comes from the second one being dangerously non functional. In my particular examples the first one was phenomenal. It has a clean break and light pull with a crisp reset. The second however, has a malfunction which causes the hammer to fall when the trigger is released. I never fired my rifle with the malfunctioning trigger but I know that the first one worked very well while it was installed.

Upon disassembly, I could see major differences in the shapes and sizes of the hammer and disconnector between my two examples. The working one had weak sear engagement on the trigger. The malfunctioning one has much deeper chamfer edges on the disconnector as well as having its disconnector hook sit nearly .040” further to the rear of the hammer’s disconnect sear, likely being the cause of the malfunction.

The generally good reviews lead me to believe this is a rare issue. I however can’t recommend this product because in my experience it’s a 50/50 shot of it not working. At least optics planet has a very good return policy.
