I got a new Colt LE6920 rifle, they call it an M4 Carbine. It seems OK, fit and finish are, I'd say, adequate at best, slight gap (.011") betwen the upper and lower at the rear, I don't know if this is normal or not - also some minimal play between them. It was packed in a preservative oil, now cleaned and lubed per the book. It did come with 2 magazines, cleaning kit, sling.
HOWEVER, the trigger is terrible - gritty, creepy, inconsistent. Hammer moves visibly further rearward as the trigger is pulled.
I'm not an AR or a rifle guy, mostly I do handguns, so I'm asking for help. I have cleaned it well and lubed everything, but no improvement.
Any ideas, tricks, suggestions, similar experiences? Honestly I expected better of Colt, perhaps I'm unrealistic or got a particularly bad one?
I'll put up some detailed photos if anyone wants them.
Thanks,
