Stay Away From RISE Triggers

[JTabas1989]

Have had two of their Reliant Pro Triggers for my 700 clone build die in just over a year. Customer service's only solution is to replace it AGAIN after the first two already died. Will not refund the product. Stay away from RISE. Garbage company and garbage hunting triggers. I will never stray from what I know again.

Well dont tell us what actually failed or anything like that.

What exactly went on them?

I had an ar15 trigger that died on me. Felt like the safety was trigger wouldn’t move. Went home and pulled it out and there was pieces of a spring laying in the lower. Called them and they sent me a new one no questions asked. Second one felt like it was about 10lbs called them and they sent me another one and this one works really well.

What do you mean what failed? I said the trigger died. It's a dead trigger. Not much to explain. Trigger doesn't reset when lifting bolt handle and doesn't do anything after the bolt is closed.

Plenty to explain. There is more than 1 part in a trigger...

Dead trigger generally means one thing there Einstein

No need for name calling.. Just trying to get more information to see what exactly the culprit was.

@JTabas1989
Dude, people are just genuinely interested in what failed on the trigger, could be super helpful in allowing others to be proactive and maybe prevent the same problem on one they currently own.
In your last post you act as if it’s self explanatory, assume we don’t know what you do. And hey, if you couldn’t identify it, now worries, let the conjecture fly.

He doesn't know enough about triggers to know what failed. It's the equivalent of someone saying their car is broke because it wont start.

Trigger died. Won't reset, won't make the hammer drop on the bolt. I didn't do an autopsy on it to see why it's a POS

I have had a rise trigger in one of my ARs for years. It is still going strong. I am genuinely curious of what happened.

If that's what you want to think then feel free. Most guys in the firearm community understand what a "dead trigger" means on a bolt gun.

I've said what happened. Multiple times. If you don't understand what a dead trigger is, then try Google.

All enclosed triggers of this design need occasional cleaning and light oiling. Oil gets slightly thicker every year - add in dust and normal gun debris and it’s not a matter if a trigger will gum up, but when. Unfortunately, some larger gritty dust or fine sand is perfectly sized to tightly fill the working clearances of internal components in short order.

There will be ten guys that will tell us all about how a gun shouldn’t need maintenance of any kind and another 50 that will think it. That has never been true in the history of firearms. *chuckle*

It needs cleaning and oiling multiple times in a 6 month span to stay operational? I have triggertechs and timneys that are 5 years old that haven't been cleaned or lube. I'm not saying maintenance isn't necessary, but if I have to clean and lube it multiple times in 6 months to stay operational that's a (edited) joke.

I thought you said you haven’t had it opened up. Spraying it with carb cleaner without opening it up isn’t cleaning it and might have actually pushed grit into the springs. There’s no law against not cleaning. I’m simply saying there are natural consequences.

No, I haven't opened it up at all.. nor should I have to in a 6 month time span. Again, I have triggertechs and timneys that I haven't cleaned or lube in years that are going strong no problem. A trigger shouldn't go dead in 6 months and 300 rounds. Gaurantee the triggertech special gives me 0 problems

@JTabas1989 I hear you there big guy, no new trigger should be dying at that round count. For the sake of everyone’s learning, you should ask the folks at rise what failed, would be curious to know if they’re actually trouble shooting it, or just chucking it and sending out a new one

At this point I don't even care to know. Bought a triggertech and am just washing my hands of RISE

Hopefully the Mods scrub this thread from the site, and give OP a warning. Trashing a company that was willing to replace their product repeatedly, and OP not being willing to discuss the details with others makes me want to give RISE the benefit of the doubt. Get this bad press off the internet until it's justified by a more reasonable human.
