waste of a video, didnt show the hammer spring

Gary Boyer says:

The hammer and trigger pins are the same. 3 grooves. Two end grooves for hammer spring legs to lay in and keep trigger in from walking out. Center groove for hammer, little spring leg inside the hammer hole, keeps hammer pin from walking out. Safety/selector goes in first where it interacts with the trigger and disconnector assembly. Can not install safety after trigger. Safety, trigger, hammer, in that order.

This video lacks all the important details people use these videos for lol

Don Perkins says:

She was shot by one of her own 99% of all cop shootings is from their own partner

Shmariyah H says:

ive built about 10 ARs to this video, Without a vice just a hammer and punch set. It helps to know how to put the spring on the trigger. This video doesn't help with that.

Thanks for blocking what could be useful views.

Cpt Steam says:

Can't see anything… which direction do the trigger pins go in?

Johnny B says:

Should we show how the springs assemble? Midway: nah, let's just make it as confusing as possible and show almost nothing. Oh and if boss man can keep his hands covering the important stuff, that'll make it even better.

Duane Johnson says:

really poor instructions on the hammer assembly. Legs of the spring on the pin? thats it? how about some video on it?

Lance says:

Does anyone have an extra pair of these they are willing to gave away

Arthur Nunez says:

Voo this video

Tom Collins says:

You can’t see half the install this is booty

Mr. Bill says:

What a useless video

Chris Acus says:

Here’s a view of my hand while I work behind it

Goonch 79 says:

This is a really bad video

Carter Lea says:

Absolute worst video ever. Basically not helpful at all. No shot of the trigger spring in an installed position. No shot of the hammer spring at all. The images that were shown that you might be able to infer about looked like a person with Parkinson’s holding the parts. I got mine working b/c I had done it before just needed a refresher but a newbie can forget about learning anything from this video.

David Rairdan says:

This was my first lower receiver build. I have replaced several triggers with single stage modules. I have watched several other videos on the lower receiver to see trigger install. I did have to watch the part of installing the hammer three times to catch spring positioning. Any improvements suggestions would be to stop and include a good look inside housing showing spring placement. Thank you

Vincent Smith says:

These AR Stoner trigger assemblies SUCK!!!! Mine will fire if the hammer only goes down one click – bottom notch engaging – but if it goes all the way down, which it will do EVERY time you cock it with the upper on, then the hook on the disengage hooks over the lower hook of the hammer and WILL NOT FIRE!!! Ihave to take a small drift pin to push down on the back of the disengage to get it to go back to the first position. And, YES, EVERYTHING IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I found another video that shows how to do it in detail right here on YouTube.

jtcustomknives says:

Let’s also not tell people that you need to install the safety first or you have to take everything out and do it all over

Austin L. says:

waiting for these to get nuked off youtube

5.7R/T Challenger says:

I’m pretty sure this is the worst install video I’ve ever seen in my life

The right to bear speech and The freedom to gun says:

Move your grubby paws couldn't see anything.

GrubbShowMedia says:

Where or how do I make a slave pin? My build didn’t come with one.
