First off, I want to apologize to RISE Armament⁠�. After doing a lot more testing, I truly believe the triggers were not the main issue, and I was wrong to immediately blame them.

I realized I did not have a proper buffer or buffer retainer setup in place to keep the CMMG bolt stable. I also learned that when working on P80 lowers, the trigger pocket really needs to be as close to OEM spec as possible. I went back, cleaned up and readjusted my trigger pocket, and things improved a lot afterward.

Looking back, I now believe the hammer follow and light primer strikes were mainly being caused by the lack of a proper buffer system to absorb and control the bolt movement.

In the first photo, I want to say thank you to RISE Armament⁠� for the upgraded replacement, even though I probably didn’t deserve it after my original complaints.

The next few photos show my homemade buffer setup. The last two photos are my heavily modified trips from Super Safety Shop⁠�. I had to slightly open up one of the holes because it was binding out of the box. The Atrius trip may look rough, but it actually works pretty well now and honestly looks better in person.

The final photo shows the materials I used to create my homemade buffer system.

I'm here to warn you — the RAVE 140 is not the way to go for .22 LR.

The Blitz trigger worked 100% out of the box for me in .22 LR. Better springs, no set screws, and no constant tuning. I think a lot of people are going to run into problems with the 140 setup.

I tried giving the RAVE 140 a fair shot. I even contacted the company and they are sending me a replacement, but I made it clear I do NOT want the same trigger design again. I don't want to deal with set screws where you have to get everything perfectly adjusted just to function correctly.

Mine does not work reliably. Yes, I got some shots off, but overall it's been a headache. Meanwhile, look at my Blitz trigger — bought it back in November, thousands of rounds through it, and it still runs great.

I know the RAVE 140 is the cheaper option, but if you want to learn from my mistakes and avoid problems with your .22 build, go with the Blitz or something better.

I don’t want to sound hypocritical, but I wanted to share some information based on my personal experience.

I highly prefer and recommend trips from Super Safety Shop.com, although they may require slight modification for the Atrius Super Safety setup. In the last photo, you can see the setup I’m referring to.

I also strongly recommend BoreBuddy steel and aluminum bolt weights, along with the red sp recoil spring & firing pins, and extractors from BoreBuddy.

In the photo, you can also see that I replaced the BoreBuddy weights with a simple .22LR bullet. The round used was a Remington Cyclone .22LR. Besides using Mini-Mag ammo, I also recommend the Remington Cyclone.

I do not recommend purchasing Gray Market Research trips or bolt weights, because in my experience the plastic components do not hold up well over time, as shown in the photo.
