KEL-TEC KS7 Aluminum Trigger

The trigger is great, as a CNC machinist/programmer myself I can appreciate the trigger. Purchased with the spring kit which I think is a must.

Now about the installation. There needs to be a KS7 installation video, the KSG video is great for tear down and assembling the trigger. Taping the hammer back did not work for me. I had my son hold the hammer back and install the trigger. You cannot release the hammer, it put way too much pressure on the trigger and would knock it out of position. If we held the hammer in the back position and installed everything and then put the other half back on. We were able to get it put back together. I hope this helps someone else.

I bought this with the spring kit. I want to share my install experience. I watched The install video and gave that a shot with no luck, but it was helpful. My advise is to study the function of the linkage. Forget about the action bar spring and the top piece that falls off, just put them aside for now. The key is getting the trigger pin straight with the safety snap installed. I did not tape mine up, I pulled the hammer back with one hand and got the trigger sheer aligned on the bar and slowly let the tension off and installed the safety catch. You may have to do this a few times to get the pin straight. Then I put the halves together slightly pulling back on the hammer and it went right into place. Get the first top right screw in above the trigger housing and your set. You can spread the bottom of the trigger housing open to get the action bar spring started and push it in with a flat head. Same the the top back part. Just spread it open enough to fit the part in and install the rest of the screws and your done.
Thanks for all you do Chris!

Combine this with the MCARBO trigger spring kit and you have a great upgrade to your KS7. It feels great and the trigger pull is reduced to a reasonable level. Do yourself a favor though, have Kel Tec install it for the $40. I'm fairly handy but my KSG would not go back together like they show in the video. After 10 tried, I sent it to Kel Tec and had in back in a few weeks.

Great trigger and spring kit, it is like I bought a new gun. Love it.
The install takes some time to study the instructions , get all your tools together and turn off any annoying sounds. It took me about four hours including looking for the famous little spring . I also bought two 2 inch spring clamps and used them to hold the halves together at various times, like having someone helping you. On my gun the Trigger pull was 5 lbs which I like on this kind of gun/

Great upgrade, smooth with no pre-travel. I had MCarbo do the installation, took a little longer than I expected but I’m very happy with the results.

This trigger is a remarkable improvement over the stock plastic molded trigger. No mold seams, so its surface is consistent and smooth. The adjustable set point can eliminate the pre-travel. It shines when combined with the trigger spring kit - and that's a wonderful 1-2 improvement that costs less than $60 all-in.

What REALLY puts this product over the edge is the installation video. Kel-Tec plastic clamshell grips can appear more tedious to open up than an AR lower or a Glock, but the installation video lays out what you need, what to watch for, and how to best keep everything properly placed for reinstallation. I watched the video beginning to end once, then followed it along for the disassembly, parts swap, and reinstallation.

ONE NOTE that may help folks - I did not have duct tape or painters tape handy, but I did have 20lb zip ties. Those were able to keep the hammer retained for reinstallation - and no worries about adhesive residue. Thanks for the great product!

The trigger is a very nicely made piece. And paired with the spring kit makes a huge difference in the weapon.

Shooting this one and a stock one side by side you can tell a massive difference. And it was a pretty simple install.

 

Trigger is much better than factory installed plastic unit and it's adjustable. Combined with the mcarbo spring kit it is awesome. Install can be difficult getting everything in place and aligned to get the two halves of the grip assembly back together.
