CMMG 22LR auto Trip problems

[strobro32]

I have been playing with the CMMG 22LR M16 auto trip parts. I bought 2 kits because the first auto trip parts I bought was so warped, it would not slide in the upper. The second kit I got came from another place, but I think it is also warped. It looks to me like the SS anti bounce and auto trip is Nitrided. I'm wondering if the nitriding process is warping the thin auto trip part. The metal is so hard, I can not bend it back into shape without fear of snapping it. Does anyone else have one of the newer Nitride parts kits?

I have one of the original non-nitrided ones (purchased many years ago)
yeah, that thing is seriously bent…

Thanks for the heads up.

Matt, I've found CMMG to be good about customer service. I'd reach out to them. My trips are the older ones and NOT warped like yours.

Thanks Jake. I did reach out. They are sending me 2 replacement trips. I will report back when I get them.

The replacements came today. They fit much better. TAD at CMMG came through. Thank you TAD.

Years ago I was trying to get my CMMG kit to work in my FA Colt 614. I called CMMG and explained my issues and they sent me at no charge three trips, each with the paddle part bent at slightly different angles. I was trying to find out if there was a timing issue and had tried to bend one myself and broke it. They're not easy to tweak. Despite that, none of those trips cured my problem.
What did was to replace my short 5.56 upper and CMMG chamber insert kit with their dedicated .22 LR collar with detent and barrel.

But to your point, excellent customer service.
