Help with 22/45 volquartson trigger

[SOBRYDEL]

I have a Ruger 22/45 MKIII that I put a Volquartson target trigger in. This trigger has over and under travel adjustment screws. Took it to the range today and about 3/4 of the time you fire, I had to squeeze/pull the trigger 2 to 4 times before it would fire. We tried adjusting the over and under travel back and forth, even taking the adjustment screws completely out and tried it. For some reason it almost seems like the sear isn't engaging with this new trigger.

I called Volquartson and they have no idea what the problem is.

Anyone have any idea what the issue here might be???

I'm not sure how mechanical you are, but I have found that playing with the lower receiver without the upper attached can let me see what's happening with the trigger group.

For troubleshooting, have you tried putting the factory trigger back in and see if the problem persists, i.e. did you assemble it right?

I put the same trigger in to my mark II and had the same problem what I ended up doing was reinstalling the factory reset spring. works fine now.

I would take everything out, clean, and start the install over. It just sounds like a spring was installed wrong. Take a deep breath and check it out, I will bet it is something simple.
