I think I made a mistake installing the Apex Tactical DCAEK...please help!

**smitty704** · 06-30-12, 18:38

I am almost finished installing the DCAEK, all but the USB.

My question is, the new sear spring( which is from the old model sear housing, with small spring and plunger) seems pretty stiff. So stiff that the sear disconnect won't stay activated, it is pressed closed by the pressure of sear.

Is this normal?

Thanks, smitty704

***the model handgun is a late 2010 M&P 9 full size without a thumb safety, mag disconnect, or internal lock****

It sounds like the plunger may not be fully seated on the spring. If you use a punch or something similar to press firmly down on the back of the sear, it should snap into place. If it doesn't, call us on Monday and we can send you out a pre seated plunger and sear spring for the small diameter sear block.

I tried pressing down on the sear with a punch with no luck, and I reversed the spring and tried again with no luck. It just won't seat. I will call on Monday.

Thanks for the help Randy!

Yea I agree, damn fine CS. This is the first time i have reached out about an Apex product and the first reply I get is from the owner, Randy Lee.

That really says something about a company. Thanks.
