Just picked up my parts this afternoon and I'm having issues... Installed the Geisselle G2S trigger, works fine. Installed the safety selector, works fine. Install the detent and spring and grip, and the trigger will not fire when the safety is in fire mode... The selector doesn't point straight up, but a little forward even when on fire. The trigger will fire if I force the selector to point straight up. Could the detents be slightly off from where there should be? Has anyone had this problem before? Am I missing something super obvious?

If this helps I would check to see if your selector detent tip looks OK and the spring is not bent. The selector detent is different than the take down pin detents which you should be able to Google an AR-15 schematic to tell the difference. Make sure your selector is installed all the way so the selector detent fits in the grooves correctly. If this doesn't help well try some other ideas.

Is the screw that holds the pistol grip on the rifle going too far into the lower?
It might be too long and interfering with the bottom of the trigger.
I agree with Montana, unscrew the pistol grip and see if that free's-up the safety to work normally.
