Lyman Trigger Pull Gauge Problems

Published on November 29, 2024
Duration: 9:26

This video investigates potential inconsistencies in the Lyman digital trigger pull gauge. The presenter tests the gauge on a Ruger Precision Rimfire and an AR-15 with a Timney trigger, observing different readings based on pull speed. A test with a reference weight further suggests the gauge may provide varied results depending on how quickly force is applied, raising questions about its accuracy and the triggers' own consistency.

Quick Summary

The Lyman digital trigger pull gauge may exhibit inconsistencies, showing higher readings with slower, gradual trigger pulls compared to faster, normal pulls on firearms like the Ruger Precision Rimfire and AR-15. Testing with a reference weight also indicated variations based on pull speed, raising questions about the gauge's accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What issues were observed with the Lyman digital trigger pull gauge?

The video observed that the Lyman digital trigger pull gauge sometimes provided inconsistent readings. Specifically, slower and more gradual trigger pulls on firearms tended to register a slightly higher poundage compared to faster, but not jerky, pulls.

How did pull speed affect trigger pull gauge readings?

Pull speed appeared to influence readings on the Lyman gauge. Slower, more deliberate pulls on firearms like the Ruger Precision Rimfire and an AR-15 with a Timney trigger resulted in higher poundage measurements than quicker, normal pulls.

Was the inconsistency found only on specific firearms?

No, the inconsistency was noted on both a Ruger Precision Rimfire and an AR-15 equipped with a Timney 4-pound trigger. Further testing with a reference weight also suggested the gauge itself might be susceptible to variations based on pull speed.

What are the potential causes for inconsistent trigger pull gauge readings?

The video suggests two primary possibilities for inconsistent trigger pull readings: either the firearm's trigger mechanism itself is inconsistent, or the Lyman trigger pull gauge is not consistently measuring the force applied, potentially due to pull speed.
