Kriss Vector Trigger Upgrade - Simple and Inexpensive

[@DrewishAF]

Just as a quick note, this video shows the Gen 2 pre-2017 version. In later iterations, there is only the pin at the front of the rail to hold it in place. The screw itself can be found at nearly any hardware store and is an M4 (0.7 thread) hex cap. You can get the 20mm long standard size screw, remove about 2 or 3mm of thread (enough to push the trigger bar to remove all pre-travel) by grinding with a bench grinder or other grinding tool, then grind the head of the screw to give clearance to slide the rail back on. Just be sure to keep the threads clean and remove any burrs before installing. Add a little cold blue to the screw and you're all set. Total cost (assuming you don't need to buy tools) is $1.29

.07 as stated in video or 0.7 as stated in your comment? Can you clarify, thx!

[@davidray2682]

@@wildshaman I dont think they MAKE a .07 thread. But even if they did, just buy one some of each. Is a dollar really gonna break the bank?

Just did this mod. Night and day difference! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@michaelkahut]

I got the screws Thursday, shortened one to 14.5mm (give or take a thousandth ;) ) and installed the mod this morning. Works like a charm. The trigger is nice and positive, takeup is almost neglible and reset is firm. Thanks for the info presented here and for sending the screws to me.

[@yearlyrookie914]

You said you used a 14.5? That's a bit of grinding he would of used instead of just using a 15mm or 14

[@markedmiston8985]

I bought the $15 screw (I got scrod) and before installing it, I found the perfect replacement at the hardware store for near nothing. Threads are perfect and the head is semi-round. It fits well below the rail when installed and it's what I'm using. Works great. $5 shipped to you in the US for the one I paid $15 for if you want it. Just let me know and we both come out OK.

[@GmonTM]

Is it still for sale?

[@StuartBoyer]

My Gen 2 vector has no screw through the top rail just a roll pin and the factory screw was 3mm instead of 2.5 but other than that it was the same procedure. I ended up at 14.5mm in length too for everything to be set good. Thanks for the video, it made a very accurate gun even more accurate.

[@lancegiannelli7737]

StuartBoyer how do you remove the rail i took out the pin and tried tapping the rail but its tight as hell

[@johngiacone1226]

Ill give you 5 dollars for the screw and to size it for me?

[@jackofallglass165]

@@lancegiannelli7737 i have the same gen 2, i used a qd sling mount and a block of wood and a hammer. grab the gun between your legs with the end of the barel on the ground. i placed mine on a towel, pout the qd sling rail mount at the back of the rail. and placed a piece of 2x4 on top and hit the block of wood with a hammer. getting it back on is a bitch. just grab the rail with a hand towel and shove it on. if you bend the rail you're fucked so go slow

The screws are M4 x 0.7 18mm length and low profile head, correct? I thought I heard 0.07 but I want to make sure.

[@Infidel67]

Thanks for the vid..

[@Orcinus24x5]

Dude, awesome! Thanks for the tip! I just finished this mod on my brand new Vector! Wish I could give you more than one like on this vid! The most annoying thing is that stupidly tiny frikken roll pin holding the rail in place. On the Gen 2.1 (2017 version) they did away with the screw at the front, but there's still a hole for it in the polymer where it would go. I wish they'd kept the screw and ditched the roll pin.

[@sneak36]

Did you have to shorten the screw as said in the video or in your experience was it good to go on arrival?

[@utoobrandomness7197]

@@sneak36 Yea, had to cut it down MM'ish (emphasis on the ish, since I have no calipers or mic's to measure it with) to get that nice snappy feeling in the safety else otherwise its too tight, the safety moves into a position 1/2 way between safe & fire, and theres no movement in the safety

Any chance you could just send me a modified screw? Dont really have anything to grind it with.

[@snarkyarts8182]

For clarification, you said 18mm screw in the video, but link to a 16mm screw. Which one is the correct length?

[@Farrow_Tech]

+Snarky Arts 16mm is the better one to start with. I ordered both and forgot which one I actually ended up using. The final length is somewhere around 14.5mm.

[@clearlakerain]

This a copy of an e-mail to GuyinGarage: Hi, This is a followup to a message sent yesterday. I solved my problem and found the metric bolt needed do your fantastic trigger job on the Kriss Vector. I am finished and it works just like you showed on KZbin. I made a few changes: 1) I found and used a m4 by 18 bolt (m3 to small) 2) The bolt had a standard head height but I filed it down to fit as I did with the extra length. My 45 Vector is called a Gen 2 2017 or Gen 2.5 or Gen 2-B. The main difference is not having the two pivoting points for a folding stock and the bolt you used is now a m4 instead of the m3. I ordered yesterday an adapter from Primary Arms which will screw into the threaded rear of my pistol. It will allow me to attach my forearm brace making it a folder. It only folds to the port (left) side of the gun but it folds & that's what I wanted. Next will be to buy one of the double tap rigs. If your upgraded trigger interferes with the double tap trigger, will please let me know. I can always hold off on the double tap and go forward with my last addition which is a fully licensed suppressor. Great trigger upgrade. Congratulations, you must be a master gunsmith. Highest Regards

Haha. But seriously, is the bolt, carrier, etc the same?

[@91gtabird]

@@hydro.tactical3843 Bolt and carrier yes. Trigger group no. Someone sells a "double tap" for it but its double tap or safe only. No single shot. Once you pull the trigger you have to release fire it. Hopefully Frankling Armoury will make a BFS for the Vector.

[@anthonyd2537]

Very cool Same principle as the Joe Bobs trigger screw adjuster that I installed on my AR-15. Shortens up the pull in the trigger for not much money at all. Are there springs inside that could be replaced for an even lighter trigger throw? Or possibly do a .25 cent trigger polish job to smooth up the feel of the trigger?
