A few weeks ago y'all helped me begin troubleshooting an AR problem.
Today I think I've got it narrowed down to the culprit...the disconnector. Since a picture is worth a thousand words I've attached a link to a video I shot of the problem.
If I hold the trigger back, and push the hammer back...it will stay back but it won't reset to the firing position.
If I move the selector to "safe" it will force the trigger to reset and I can then fire it. If I push down on the back of the disconnector it will reset the hammer. Or if I slap at the trigger a bit, that will force it to reset too. But if I just push the hammer back...it gets stuck almost every time.
Below is the video. Of course the FIRST time I tried to demonstrate it the darned thing worked perfectly!!!
After the first demonstration though you should get a good feel for the problem. There were no springs rattling around in there so nothing came loose. This is a Stag Arms gun, from the factory, no mods.

I lubed the heck out of it and it still sticks. It feels like it takes a bit more force on this gun to manually set the trigger than on other AR's. Any thoughts on what my next step should be?
