Good afternoon,
I have a question and it may be me..........
I own a Stag AR and I have a Battle Arms ambi' safety. My brother just bought me an ALG Defense ACT trigger, which I just installed. My brother also just installed the same trigger in his S&W. When testing the safety and trigger after the installs we cannot engage the safety when the bolt is locked to the rear. I've Googled it and have found multiple answers- some saying it's normal some not. I understand that the hammer isn't on the sear when the bolt is back (probably the wrong terminology) and therefore would seem to be pressed down by the BCG, which is what's causing it to bind I think?
However, I know that we could engage the safeties prior to the trigger swap. I always engaged the safety when the bolt locked to the rear on an empty mag' if I wasn't reloading.
Is this normal with the ACT trigger?
Thank you for the help.

ETA- I just reinstalled the stock trigger and the safety does engage with the bolt back. I'm not losing my mind.[:)] So the question is whether it's the safety or the trigger swap that's made the change.
ETA2- More searching found an issue with the trigger pins. It seems that some pins are out of spec (too thick), which causes the binding. I'm going to try the pin swap.
