Dpms receiver rug installation

Quoted: I can see where the rug might help with keeping blown primers from getting stuck under the trigger, but honestly, how often do we get blown primers? The wedge is good if you don't like the noise from loose fitting receivers. Been shooting AR's continuously since and didn't know I needed a rug for blown primers until a couple years ago.

Quoted: I have used Accuwedge's in the past to tighten the play on scoped AR's. Tension is the last thing you want to introduce into a rifle. IMO That cover thing looks ok, but unless you have ever needed it, why add it. All Rifles Gear Learn News. Subscribe To The Magazine.

Here's the failure mode of a receiver rug which hasn't had the ears "tucked in" like I'll show you farther on in this guide. Because the rear "ears" end up underneath the rear of the trigger, it's firmly wedged and is prevented from travelling. A real he-man type may be able to pull the trigger hard enough to get things into position from this state, but it would be likely to damage the receiver rug and possibly bend the pivot pin in the process.

It's better to just remove the safety and install the whole thing top-down. Here's how you want the receiver rug to be mounted to your trigger before you insert it. Note that the rear ears of the rug are angled upwards. This is because you can easily tuck the receiver rug ears down into place from on top after you've placed the trigger, but you can't get access below the trigger in order to push the ears to the side if they happen to be beneath it. Be careful, because the ears can kink rotate 90 degrees and look correctly locked in place.

This is how the ears look when they're installed, but not yet tucked in. Note that they're flush against the side of the receiver, and perfectly straight.

If they look like they've twisted and you can't tuck them down flat, you need to lift the trigger back out and repeat the procedure. You can use a punch or small precision screwdriver to tuck down the ears of the receiver.

As mentioned above, make sure that the ears haven't rotated 90 degrees. You can see how the receiver rug's rear ears are supposed to look when properly installed. Now it's time to reassemble the weapon - push in the pivot pin just far enough to lock the trigger in place, but not far enough in to prevent you from installing the disconnector. The reason I suggest doing this as a separate step is that the receiver rug will generally push up a little on the pins, so you'll have to use a bit more force than usual.

Once you've gotten the disconnector in place, push the pivot pin in the rest of the way. Install the safety selector. Push forward on the trigger so that the rear of the trigger won't prevent the installation of the safety selector. Next, take care of the safety detent, spring, and pistol grip.

I personally didn't bother unscrewing the grip all the way, so it proved easy enough to screw it back in and thus lock the detent and spring back in place.
