B&A trigger issues.....the verdict:
CYA friends:
I've had three issues, that I've personally witnessed, with B&A triggers.
One trigger was simply gummed up, and a couple minutes in lacquer thinner, then compressed air, made it work normal. I did not tear it down.
Two others had an issue where part D would not quickly over ride part E, resulting in delayed firing pin fall, or an audible "click".

Jeff Patterson and I did nothing to these triggers in the way of cleaning, etc.
Both resumed normal function when we put them back together, after tearing them down for inspection.
What Jeff and I would recommend, if you use the B&A, is this:
Try to keep cleaning solvent out of it, just like any other trigger.
And when you de-cock it, if it does not de-cock without the firing pin immediately letting down, or if you hear an audible "click", I would simply take it apart, then reassemble it.
Or, simply keep shooting it, since the gun will continue to fire. ( How this would affect ignition, we do not know)
