HI all

I read the instructions and watched the video for lem conversion and can't get around a hang up:

I can't get the trigger bar to "reset" flush against the right part of the gun. It seems like there isn't enough space between the detent bar/sping and the trigger bar as the trigger bar continually wants to move left. In the instruction video it seems all that's needed is a simple push/depress and the trigger bar clicks in. Perhaps Im doing something wrong but it seems that this shouldn't be this difficult. any suggestions?

I'd suggest a re-do. The bottom edge of the trigger bar rides on top of the detent. Once the hammer axle is in place the trigger bar should stay on top of the detent, as the axle pushes down on the tail of the trigger bar. After the rest of the parts (disconnector, control lever, catch, sear) are in place, the trigger bar shouldn't be able to move laterally off the detent. It sounds like your trigger bar was not on top of the detent when the rest of the parts were installed.

actually, i never fully installed any of the lem kit as i didn't want to do a redo. as of now the original parts have been removed but I can't get the trigger bar to stay on top of the detent consistently as it wants to travel left with any minimal movement

Is the stub pin at the trigger end of the trigger bar fully engaged in the hole in the trigger arm?

Any pics you could add would be a huge help.

ETA: Does the trigger bar jump to the left with the hammer axle in place? Is there anything visible on the right side of the frame between the trigger bar tail and the frame wall?

thx for the help, i actually called hk and they said i wasn't putting enough downward pressure on the trigger bar and that it should ride just on top of the detent, seems to work fine and i finally got the LEM kit installed.

Keep trying, i felt the same way with mine and then everything just "clicked" and it went fine, once it's done, definitely worth the effort. Love the LEM now.
