VQ parts?
Hello,
Are the Mark lll sear issues a one time bad batch that got out? Are those issues corrected now? Or is it just a few that had a glitch?
Thanks Jim

We have no idea. We are hoping it's just one batch, being the first ones with the new precess. Of course they are not going to release that info. Some have no problems with the new sears and some due. I guess it all depends on where your gun in the mix on tollerences. As you know all parts are mfg to a tollerance ±. Then you add all of the +++ & --- up for stacking of parts. But your may be all +++ or --- so then you are at the extreme ends of the scale. So if the part is in the middle of the range no problem, but as you can see if your on one extreme all bets are off.
VQ has been backing these bad parts and even fitting some who send them the lower. I'm not sold on sending them the lowers. Because you do not know if there adj your in spec parts or fitting their parts.

Remember that not all of the VQ sears are out of specifications, so some folks are not experiencing any problems. That doesn't lessen the difficulties the folks with the out of spec sears are having and again, each sear has its own tolerance issues, so not all are showing the same symptoms. This is why VQ is having difficulty solving the problem; they're not all doing the same thing. One common symptom is not enough trigger travel for the sear to release the hammer.
