Good tip on Imgur, thanks a ton. Good riddance, Photobucket.

Parts out of the gun. I think, maybe, there was some effort made to shorten the disconnector tail at the factory, but if they did it was not effective:


File and saw work done. The parts are certainly not soft but neither are they glass-hard. Selector bottom is narrowed so it will still block the trigger but not disable the disconnector; disconnector tail removed.


And, back in the gun. You can see here that now, with selector in an “in between” position, it will miss the disconnector, which itself has had its tail removed. Both parts are now bona-fide semi-auto parts.
