I recently picked up a faxon Bcg to put in my aero epc9 lower. I have the larue mbt2 trigger but it does reset with the faxon Bcg. Any recommendations on what will work? Faxon will not answer the phone or emails.
 
Hiperfire has become pretty much the go-to PCC trigger. But CMC, Timney and Velocity all have PCC model triggers with good reputations. JP's trigger is happy in a blowback gun too.

does the bottom of your Faxon PCC BCG have a bump on the bottom of the pick-up lug, as shown on the front-most in this pic? that bump serves to push down on the hammer so that it goes deep enough to reset.

usually the BCG mfrs party line is that their stuff works with USGI mil-spec, and as soon as you deviate from that (e.g. Larue MBT2 trigger), all bets are off. Trigger mfrs probably say the same thing, their triggers are guaranteed to work with a USGI mil-spec 5.56 BCG, anything other than that, buddy, you're on your own.

This... a USGI hammer is slightly "higher" at the very peak. And that height is typically needed for proper reset.

ALG-ACT would probably work, since it adheres to the USGI mil-spec format. probably any of the numerous others enhanced nickel boron triggers would also work, same thing, they're gussied-up USGI mil-spec triggers.

Ironically, I ended up using a ALG ACT in my PSA based PCC.
