StandardError Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) I was hoping I could get some input on what others are getting as a trigger weight at the lightest setting on their 24C trigger. I installed mine and it is breaking at 3.5 lbs at the lightest weight. I have a new frontier style Glock lower and wasn't sure if it was just me or whether the geometric differences of the lower's trigger well (if they really are different) meant that the 2 pound break the trigger promises was not going to be possible. If you all are not getting a 3.5 lb weight at the lightest, any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? I've already emailed Hiperfire. Edited June 15, 2017 by StandardError Link to comment
mahamoti Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 are you using antiwalk pins? Supposedly that degrades the Hiperfire pull a bit. Link to comment

I specifically held off on purchasing them after reading Hiperfire's manual. I am in contact with their CS department and they're being very responsive. This does go into my gut feeling that I borked something on my end. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello: Check to make sure you are using the correct springs. Also make sure the spring guides are in correctly. Lastly lightly oil all contact areas. Mine using KNS anti walk pins is about 2 1/2lbs. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
NOMADSS Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I am having random hammer follow and failure to reset every 30-40 rounds with the 24C trying to figure out a solution or I will be bulling it out soon and going with the old reliable JP trigger. Link to comment

Shortly after running 2000 rds through my PCC, I started to have problems with my Hiperfire 24c doubling (or more) and solved that problem by going to a lighter recoil spring. From the factory (PSA) the gun had what appeared to be a .308 recoil spring. Changed it out to a .223 spring and that problem was solved. About the same time I started having problems with trigger reset. I thought it might be a bit of trash around the trigger so flushed it out with some carburetor cleaner. Thant solved that problem. Now when I do a detailed clean, I flush it out. I'm over 4000 rds now and all is well. Edited June 17, 2017 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment
NOMADSS Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Im over 1000 rounds now. I'll check spring and see which one it has. Thanks Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I also experimented with lighter buffers. I still have the stock one in the gun (5.2 ounces) but a lighter buffer may also help. FYI, my reloads are pretty light at 128 PF. Bill Link to comment
cecil Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I installed a Hiper Fire 24C trigger in my Stag carbine... used the mid springs... 3.5lb trigger pull using a digital gauge... installed K&N anti walk pins .. no change what so ever after pins were installed... still 3.5lb trigger pull... no creep what so ever..

blaster113 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I just installed a 24c in my build. Pull weight of 3.0 lbs in my CMMG lower using the lightest springs. Hopefully the trigger gets a little lighter after break in. Link to comment
StandardError Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 As an update, everybody, I found out what the issue was. The bottom loop of the trigger spring was slipping out of the notch where it is supposed to rest and sitting higher up. I didn't notice this because it came from the factory this way, but after close comparison to the pictures on the website, I realized what the issue was. I shifted the spring and now all is good. 2-2.5 lb break consistently. Link to comment
