Whatever they made the trigger out of is very sturdy (its aluminum, i dont know what grade) and the anodizing is absolutely top notch as i was unable to scratch the trigger or get it to gall despite my first attempt with a pin punch and ask. Now, having said this, one thing i noted was just how freaking HARD the Apex trigger is.

A little drop of penetrating oil goes a long way towards helping that pin slide in. Also, ensure that you're pushing the pin in STRAIGHT the first time as its entirely possible to gall the aluminum. Trying to hammer the pin in is going to end in a marred trigger and lots of cursing.

I STRONGLY recommend you PRESS the pin into the Apex Tactical Trigger from the LEFT to the RIGHT via bench vise and padded blocks/wood. Pick your poison and do what needs doing. Remove the two tapered pins in the frame and the locking block pin.įrom here you're going to need to either press out the trigger pin or start the installation into your new Apex Trigger.

I posted my thoughts on the Apex Forward Sitting Sear a few months ago but now the circle is complete (har) and i have one of Randy's new triggers in hand.
