The downside: you're going to have to pay for it. They are tracking this and have a modified top sear (increased height of around 20 thousandths) and this should cure the main problem thats been plaguing the trigger in tactical rifles. Tell them you saw this post on the hide regarding the bix n andy issue and Top sear engagement. Give bullet central a call and ask for dave or chris. (standard remington 700's, standard defiance deviants and most other actions shouldnt have an issue). The fix: If you're having the exact issue I'm having, its because you need more top sear engagement with your setup. I am not the first person to go to all the way back to bullet central to figure out this problem and in fact its been such a confusion until bullet central started piecing together that its the top sear engagement. *if you have a surgeon and having this issue, its because theres a bit more play in the surgeon action and therefore you're also losing top sear engagement. Coincidentally, some gunsmiths spec out actions and one of this may be shortening of the cocking piece assembly (which is done on the ALPHA 11, Tempest, and a couple others). And here comes the fix(es) now for anyone whos having this similar issue with the bix n andy.Ĭhris goes on to explain to me that the bix n andys top sear is lower than the other competitors. His next question was, is it a factory defiance or a modified defiance (ie to a gunsmiths spec). His first question to me was what action? I replied a defiance deviant. He is the bix n andy trigger tech over there and explained my issue to him. I called over to bullet central and talked to chris. I suppose I'll just have to dremel out some fucking material there myself. I'm already at the point where i dont have any more fucks left to give on whose fault this is, im just left with the bags. I can clearly see rub marks on the bottom of the trigger assembly on both sides near where the magazine spring ends poke out of ( photo provided in response below). To pause here, I took a look inside my chassis and trigger housing. The third actual "fix" I found is that if I apply hard downward and forward pressure on my action to my chassis and then torque my action screws in, rifle cycles just fine without a hiccup. If I loosen either the front or rear action screw, problem goes away.Īnother thing I found is if I use finger pressure and push down on the firing pin head assembly I can cycle my bolt with my other hand and fire with no issues. I've tinkered with it for a good while and I found the issue: If I torque down both action screws I have this half firing issue. Bolt handle becomes really sticky and in order to reset, you need to pull the trigger (to fully have everything set, theres a barely audible click) and then cycle the bolt. I now took care of this issue but another issue rose When I run my bolt handle my trigger would 'half fire' (firing pin goes forward but not fully). I followed the instructions from the trigger manual and set it properly. The fix for this would be to increase sear engagement. When I got the trigger back i noticed that if I run the bolt handle hard (as in slap the bolt handle down) the trigger would fire. Trigger was sent back to Bix n Andy for repair and came back to me with a slightly lighter trigger pull (around 1#) Per my request to SAC, use heaviest spring and set to heaviest pull weight (right around 1.25 #) It may have caused the lower sear engagement to break off. My first issue with the trigger was potentially being set on the heaviest pull weight. I will only be speaking about the trigger issues specifically ive already noted my other issues with this build. *bartlein barrels (only thing thats a non issue on this build)Īll parts were sent to SAC for work and was built by SAC. SAC Alpha 11 (defiance deviant to their specs) this becomes important later, including surgeon & tempest owners (so far)īix n Andy single stage no safety trigger The fix is coming from bullet central directly and i'll chronicle everything i've had to deal with this trigger. This is a PSA for the Bix n Andy trigger and the semi known issues out there.
