TriggerTech Failures? Hang fires?

Get in touch with TT. Ed Kim is johnny on the spot and will take care of you, good folks.
Update to my post. They sent me a new trigger. I have 2 ar, and 5 rem 700 triggers from them. They are still top notch in my book.
Little late to the party on this thread, however I am on my second tt special, first one went about 5k rounds live/dryfire before it started hang firing. Got my replacement trigger 4 days ago from TT and having the same issue after about 200 dry fires. Not impressed
Running a orgins 6.5cm.
Mdazzo- what did you replace the screw with? Or did you just increase the pull weight?
What was the reason you had to switch? I know many peeps running a single stage diamond in a Fuzion, that seems very odd.
I had the issue with a Fuzion, Zeus, and Axiom. I am running 2 stage Diamond's and it has fixed the issue.
I tried, it doesn’t change a thing. Also tried making sure the bolt was clean since I’ve never experienced this before so I thought maybe the firing pin was sticking. The second stage 1.5lb click vanished and turned into a dull click that doesn’t respond. Then I get the glass break randomly half to a full second after
I read that wrong initially. I thought you said slam fire. Call TT tomorrow. They’ll replace it.
Maybe try soaking the trigger in some acetone too. Maybe it has some oil/dirt stuck in there from cleaning the gun.
I’ll definitely give that a try! Thanks for the help!
If no acetone, a common recommendation is lighter fluid. Yep, good old Zippo stuff. Apparently leaves a bit of lubrication after it evaporates.
Got to be careful w acetone as it does eat a lot of stuff. Not metal trigger parts but it will screw up finishes in a NY second.
I have Diamond single stages in a Seekins HAVAK and a Defiance Deviant and have not had a single issue.
TT triggers are anodized. Acetone won’t hurt it. Advice straight from TT…but yes acetone will eat cheap paint and some rubber, plastics..ect.
Outstanding. I was thinking more like chassis skins and stock finish but good to know about the TT anodizing.
I REALLY like their triggers and will have to try a 2 stage some time this year.
Cheers
I haven’t read anything previously posted just fyi
I will add I have a jewel trigger on my stiller P1000 fclass rifle. It’s set to 8oz. I’ve had it creep above 1.5 lbs from not cleaning it
Lighter fluid did the trick. If that helps
I wish I could use a two stage. I’m wrong handed and they don’t make one for us weirdos..ha.
Just had this happen on my new TT Diamond 2 stage. Approx 300 rounds through it, went to the range and it was sticking real bad. I cycled it maybe 100 times because I didn’t want to go home without shooting any rounds, and it got “good enough” to where I could accomplish what I came there to do and then went home and flushed it with lighter fluid and compressed air. Seems to be back to 98% now, but I’m pretty disappointed since my TT special that was almost half the cost and has a few thousand rounds on it never did this.
the diamond cant even go above 2 pounds
i haven't seen a Special/Primary do it...but they aren't the Diamond
That trigger should’ve gone back to TT, that’s an unacceptable safety failure. Just my 2 cents
I should have said that the new one has 700 rounds without a failure
Just had 2 hang fires , and some other hard trigger pulls at my last outing with my 2 stage diamond (gold edition from Black Friday sale.). It’s in a zermatt origin action with about 100 rounds through it and another 1-200 dry fires. I emailed Trigger tech and they told me to take something apart and lightly polish it ( they were more specific than that) but when I took it apart it wasn’t clear to me what to do so I did nothing. I did however adjust my 2nd stage pull a little heavier, and I could get it to hang fire every time dry firing. I made it lighter than before and it went away. The adjustment clicks were not very positive, almost like they were binding up a little, and then they would clear up to be positive back and forth. I emailed them back with my new finding and waiting to hear back.
Interesting you mention the adjustment part. Mine has never had very distinct clicks when I change the weight. I didn’t think it had clicks at all when I initially tried adjusting it.
I got the same response with my updated findings. I’ll have mine checked out by my smith and report back, they might be right.
Just seems strange it would work perfectly at first then have issues. I assume it would show the issues right away. Guess we’ll see.
Sent my old one back and Have a new trigger on the way from trigger tech. I have a match next weekend that it might not show up in time for. Can I use my jewell out of my Remington 700 that has the bolt release on it in my origin action to get me through the weekend?
Glad I found a relevant thread to jump into. I don’t know if my ability to search is bad, whether it’s my frustration with the issue, or the wild child I have who seems determined to hurt himself as I search a fix, but I can’t seem to find a solid solution.
So I’ve got an Origin build with a TT primary. Everything is brand new. When I went to the range today I had 4 light strikes out of 6 rounds I tried to fire. Not sure if it’s a firing pin length issue, the firing pin spring, or a trigger issue. Although I haven’t heard of anyone having issues with the TT primary. If anyone has any insight I’d be very grateful.
