Kind of Blued
Member
I moved fire control parts between three lowers for a few reasons and for some reason the hammer is not cocked after the first round fired. By way of a dry function check, everything works as intended. This is on a lower that previously had a two-stage trigger, but now has a single stage trigger.
Yesterday I was shooting my carbine with the substituted single-stage trigger and had the same problem. I'd insert a mag, load a round, turn selecor to "FIRE", fire a round, the bolt would cycle, insert a fresh round, but the hammer would not be cocked. During dry fire, every works as designed however. After this problem occured, I pulled back on the chaarging handle just enough to cock the hammer without ejecting the live round, and let it forward. This caused a two-shot burst (doublefeed?) that kind of suprised me, and I decided I'd try to figure it out before shooting it anymore.
Something I noticed is that the single-stage trigger group allows the hammer to be depressed to the point that it is flush with the lower receiver. Here's a photo:
The hammers on the two-stage triggers that came in my two RRA rifles can't be depressed nearly as far. Here's a photo of one of those:
I don't even know if this has anything to do with it, but I have some more photos if those would help you help me.
Does anybody know what might be going on?
Any help/ideas are very appreciated.
