Public Service Announcment: check for fire-on-release triggers

[usmcvet]

Clint thanks for pointing me to this awesome sticky. I need to review the stickies.

Thanks Ned.

Just seeing this thread now.

I actually had this issue with a complete lower from a very well known manufacturer on this forum.

It surprised me because it didn't do it every time, and the first time it happened I thought "I didn't just pull the trigger twice??" This was very difficult to diagnose because it wouldn't happen consistently and would often happen during rapid strings of fire. One day I was doing slow fire and noticed it fired as I released the trigger and knew I had a problem.

Luckily this was taken care of by the manufacturer but I can certainly attest that it does happen even to the very best manufacturers.

Great thread.

I had this happen to me esterday when I was trying to hit a clay pigeon at the 50 yard line with my 9mm AR. I was slowly releasing my trigger. The gun also went full auto a few times. I can now get it to do it 100%!of the time with a functions check. The slow release is key.

I'd be curious too as to IG's answer but will hazard a guess it will be "no". I feel it a safe bet to say that a few manufacturers, those making guns for the G among them, understand and check for the issue.

I've been to several AR armorers courses as a cop. I don't think this was discussed.

Try imgur. I use it for all the Arisaka images that get posted on forums. Very easy drag and drop interface and none of that weird indirect linking crap that photobucket has.

That's a great tip too. Photo bucket used to be great but it's a PITA now. Especially from a phone or tablet.
