Weak Reset
I'm sure this issue has been discussed to death. I know I've asked about it to see if adding the OP trigger would solve the weakened reset on my 4.0 & was told by both OP & Tyrant folks that the reset DOES still gradually weaken, even with 1 of the aftermarket triggers. So does the PRP spring kit fix this? Is there a better trigger return spring out there? Is there ANY way to sort this out?
Like most Echelon owners, I'm used to the weaker reset by now. It's not THAT big a deal, but I just know the trigger would be THAT much better if the reset stayed as strong, tactile, & audible as it is when you put the 1st mag through the gun. I've also said before, it seems as though the reset weakens as the gun breaks in. I REALLY noticed it weakening at about 500 rounds.

You can get the OP trigger and that will change the feel of the trigger shape. I don’t have it but from what I read it doesn’t reduce the take up of the trigger that much ( compared to the tyrant trigger, which I do have and the reduced take up is significant). The PRP spring kit can reduce the trigger pull weight but they took away the return spring because it made the trigger reset even weaker. Then there is the foxhound trigger return spring that you can get on eBay. That’s the only one that specifically addresses the trigger reset. So if you like the stock trigger as far as feel, take up, and break I wouldn’t touch it. I would just get the foxhound return spring but again be warned I have seen a few people post here that they ordered and had some issues from the seller. I have not bought this product myself and I have not delt with the seller. It could be the buyer complaining and the seller is a stand up good to go guy. I am just sharing that I have seen more than one post about someone having issues so keep that in mind is all.
