6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: Failure to properly install trigger and confirm functionality could result in an unsafe firearm. No liability is expressed or implied for personal or property damage resulting from the improper installation or use of a Black Talon Tactical Product please read, understand, and follow all instructions.
6.1. Remove your existing lower receiver:
WARNING: Always point your firearm in a safe direction. Remove the magazine and all ammunition from the action and chamber before proceeding.
6.1.1 Read the Black Talon Tactical DISCLAIMER, TERMS AND CONDITIONS, LIMITED WARRANTY, LIMITED LIABILITY and SATISFACTION GUARANTEE prior to installation and use.
6.1.2 Disassemble your firearm to gain full access to the lower receiver and existing trigger assembly.
6.2. Remove the existing trigger:
6.2.1. Slightly loosen the grip on your lower receiver so the safety detent no longer engages the safety selector. Carefully, remove the safety selector. Some lowers may require you to fully remove the grip to do this.
6.2.2. Remove the pins securing your existing trigger to the lower receiver. NOTE: You may need to loosen additional security features specific to your existing trigger.
6.2.3. Remove the existing trigger assembly.
6.3. Adjust Trigger to initial desired Pull Force:
6.3.1. Using the large SILVER 1/8" hex wrench adjust the trigger pull force to the initial desired Pull Force.
6.4. Prepare and install your BTT trigger:
6.4.1. With your new BTT trigger in the cocked position, insert it into the lower receiver. Keep it cocked during the whole installation.
6.4.2. Insert the front (towards the muzzle) anti-walk pin without the 2nd screw - this will help re-install the safety in Step 6.4.3
6.4.3. Orient the safety selector into the FIRE position and insert it into the lower receiver in the safety cross hole.
6.4.4. Insert the rear (towards the stock) anti-walk pin without the 2nd screw.
IMPORTANT: It is CRITICAL that you firmly, and PROPERLY, tighten BOTH Snug Down screws prior to re-assembling your firearm per 6.4.7. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN DOUBLE FIRE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
6.4.5. With the Safety Selector in the FIRE position and while holding the anti-walk pins in place, use the 1/16” GOLD Allen key supplied and FIRMLY tighten the two snug-down screws located towards the back of the trigger housing. CAUTION: Initially these screws may be difficult to turn as they have an anti-vibration patch to keep them from backing out. It should take approximately 2-3 full turns to properly tighten the screws.
6.4.6. Screw the 2 remaining anti-walk pin screws into the anti-walk pins and tighten using the two BLACK 2mm hex wrenches.
6.4.7. Move the Safety Selector to the SAFE position

6.5.2. Safety off, charge bolt, safety on, pull trigger firmly - trigger should NOT fire - Trigger should not make any audible clicks.
6.5.3. Safety off, charge bolt, safety on, pull trigger firmly, release trigger, safety off - Trigger should NOT fire.

6.5.6. WARNING: If your trigger should fail any of these tests, repeat step 6.4 to ensure your trigger is firmly and correctly snugged down. If it continues to fail, do NOT use live ammunition until you have spoken with your local gunsmith or BTT.
6.6. Live Ammunition Testing at Range:
6.6.1. Once 6.6.1-6 have been successfully passed without ammunition, you can begin using ammunition at a range. Start with one round and slowly increase the number of live rounds in your magazine.
6.6.2. WARNING: If you are not comfortable performing these tests, contact your local gunsmith.
6.7. Maintenance:
6.7.1. Lubrication: BTT’s Triggers can operate dry because of our technology.
