geissele owners: I have a hammer/trigger question

[Winny94]

I tried installing a sd-e, and noticed the finish missing on the nose of the trigger.

I contacted customer service as I was concerned about the unfinished metal. I was informed they machine in a relief cut after finishing. As you can see in the image above, it was not machined, but as long as function wasn't impeded, I was ok with the missing finish.

I went ahead and installed it, and upon testing it out, I noticed the hammer reset was gritty, and the 2nd stage felt much heavier than the advertised 1.3lbs. (I don't have a pull gauge, so it may or may not be heavier)

I pulled it out and noticed the hammer was wearing into the trigger.

I don't want to hassle their CS again for something that is not an issue, but I guess I was expecting more for my dollar. Is this common on these triggers? Their CS sent me an image of one they pulled off their shelves, which had a very nicely machined relief cut

This example looks like it wouldn't have an issue with the hammer rubbing.

Am I making a big deal out of nothing and expecting too much, or is this one that slipped through the cracks?

Thanks

Was this purchased direct from Geissele Automatics?

I would email them those pictures.

Second on e-mailing them the pictures if you haven't already. It doesn't look quite right to me, but I'm no engineer (I do, however, have two of their triggers and love them so far).

Just be respectful and professional in your conversations and correspondence, and they'll do right by you.

I believe the parts are wire EDM cut but those pics look different than any of my Geissele trigger with lots of rounds on them.

Looks like surface scaling / em-brittlement.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think G triggers engage the trigger nose. I thought they were all disconnector operated.

Does not look like my g triggers either. Wondering about the source of purchase. Those Chinese are smart..

I did not purchase direct from Geissele, but I did purchase from a more than reputable retailer.

I would call Geissele and link or forward the pics.
I am sure they stand behind their product if needed.
