alvo89 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I'm having problems with installing the BOLO. I got some new parts to put in my stock 2: xtreme trigger, 1pc sear, titan hammer and the BOLO. I've got everything to fit and function except the BOLO. I've tried using the stock interrupter with all the new parts and it would engage the trigger bar and make the DA pull (that's correct yes?). However with the BOLO installed it glides right over the trigger bar making a "dead" pull. I've got the SA pull to function which feels awesome without the creep in the trigger. Now did I do something wrong or am I missing some crucial piece of info? I've read on the PD website to remove material from the 2nd angle which would be that 90 degree angle, yes? I took a couple swipes at it but after just looking at how it all fit when it was installed it seems there's no contact at all between the BOLO and trigger bar. Any help is much appreciated.

haiedras Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Small frame or large frame? How new is your S2? If you can take a picture of the trigger bar tail where the disconnector rides over, that would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvo89 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Large frame, it's about a month old. I did some polishing to the trigger bar before I got my new parts, but nothing substantial to remove material. Let me get a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Removing material from the wing is if DA does not break. As in, the hammer goes all the way back, and does not drop. Is that your problem, or is the hammer not moving at all? You should not have removed any material from the 90° wing, if your bolo isn't catching the trigger bar. Did you contact Patriot before you decided to do this? As haiedras also asked, have new is your S2? There has been a slight change in trigger bars with the new imports.

SoCalShooter69 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Does your trigger bar look like the one on the right (in the tail where the disco is seated)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking from the PD website and why I stopped to actual see if it was contacting at all. Hammer is not moving at all. I wasn't able reach them due to the time difference. If I can't rectify the situation due to the material removed, ah well. My S2 is fairly new I take it. I believe made in 2017, it has the "FT-IT 2017" marking different from pics of other S2's I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanfo increased that area on the new trigger bars by .020" Send an email to Joe, and I'm sure he'll works something out with you. You would have had to remove .020" off this area for it to sit in the trigger bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalShooter69 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) **** For everyone with a newer style trigger bar or new S2 - contact Patriot before you place your order to let them know. They will mod the bolo for you, so it's able to drop-in the new style trigger bar. **** Edited August 6, 2017 by SoCalShooter69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to be able to use the BOLO in my first match this coming weekend. The mods I have ATM are nothing to complain about tho . Should I let them remove the material or is this something I can perform myself. Also was this information mentioned anywhere that I missed in the search bar?

We litteraly just discovered it about two weeks ago. You can try the mod yourself if you have a dremel. It's only .020" That being said, I think when you filed the 90° wing, you may have tried to fix something that wasn't broken. If you didn't hit that wing too hard, try the mod as I highlighted in the picture. But def get with Joe - I'm sure he'll make good with you.

alvo89 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Ah well, that's life. I'll see if I can borrow a dremel from someone around. Only have 220grit sandpaper here, that'd take too long. The wing is only rounded now so should be good. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvo89 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Little update for those curious. Took some sand paper and went to that area. Took about a movie's worth of time and .025" off that angle. Everything functions perfect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 "About a movie's worth" ! Yowza! dedication for sure. Glad you got it to work. But what the heck is Tanfo thinking? or did they get a new supplier ? sigh, my 6 sigma process engineer side is "agitated" by all the undocumented changes. They really should just come from the factory with Titan/bolo/1 piece sear/PD firing pin and all PD Optimized springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the two images of the standard and Xtreme trigger bar images on the PD website. Will the extra .020" of meat on the TB surface extend the DA pull? seems like it would.

No, it is not an extreme bar. It's purely a new design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it'll make it's way into the rest of the stable, but so far, looks like the S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
