Frequently Asked Questions

Why might a firearm trigger stop resetting after use?

A common cause for a firearm trigger failing to reset is a malfunction with internal components like the connector. This can occur after significant use, and may require part replacement to restore proper function.

Do I need a gunsmith to install all firearm parts for warranty coverage?

What should I do if a firearm part I installed fails and the manufacturer won't help?

If a manufacturer denies support due to DIY installation, you may need to diagnose the issue yourself and source replacement parts. For trigger-related problems, checking the connector is often a good starting point for troubleshooting.

Is it common for firearm parts to fail after a certain number of rounds?
