Bix and Andy comp trigger issue

[WyleWD]

They work great when they work.

^^^^ Agree 100%. Great trigger, but after it just "locks up" 3 different times in a year or so , open them up and they're clean as a pin and nothing in them, reassemble them and they work fine till the next time that's unacceptable. Sent it down the river. If they figure that out for sure I'd own another one in a heartbeat. JME. WD

There is a joke that went around our club. It went like this:
Q: How do you fix a BixNAndi trigger?
A: With a Jewell.

I usually carry a spare trigger with me when I go to matches....

Or a Timmy

Don't overlook the Shilen Competition Trigger.

I have bought at least 40 B&A triggers. I have had some issues with them and I was ignorant about not taking them apart and to understand how they function and how to adjust them. Now I can do that in my sleep. After reading a post that Alex Wheeler posted about polishing the contact points I took every single one apart and polished all the internals. Problem solved. I've had zero issues since. It's sad to pay 400 plus dollars only to have to work on it to make it 100% reliable.

I just bought a used Jewell BR.

What the heck, I just bought a Timney Benchrest Trigger.

It’s worth a try.

Now you guys have me worried! I've had a Bix'n Andy for over 3 years and never had a problem! I am going to do the polish as Alex Wheeler advised.

Same. Mine have been problem free, including my 2 stage. I'm running the Pro X now.

But, I'm also not running a 2oz trigger.

Andy comes to IWA every year. Next year I am going to ask him about these problems and hopefully I will be ableto post his response here.

I've got mine down to 1.38 oz on 3 of them! I'm going to do the polish for sure

Sometimes these policies make no sense?

Just a waste of time and shipping expense. That's the reason I never involved myself in Jewell warranty repair. LDS

For the price of $475.00, I shouldn’t have to polish anything!! Just my opinion

B&A triggers sound like the equivalent to a Kentucky thoroughbred race horse...always on the edge of working or not.

To each their own. I’ll take Secretariat over a plow horse any day of the week.

Bix and Andy Triggers cost me multiple failures a few years ago. Back then I was competitive and those triggers were a curse. Learned to work on them but must have been a slow learner.

Both are gone now, replaced with Jewel. Lucky for me a also bought a spare back then. Some swear by the Bix and Andy. Some swear at them.

I install a lot of B&A triggers, have you measured the action to make sure you have the correct sear?

^^^^^^^^^ this is very important.
Also, after Alex published his modifications, didn’t Bullet Central start doing the polishing before Triggers were shipped?

Here are the parts that need to be polished. Keep in mind the trigger was new and installed this spring.

Absolutely not.

They are sensitive to liquids. If the cleaning fluid gets into inside they will not work properly.
