| I was able to start work on installing the Carl with arc fire v1 with mil spec trigger. I watched the install video, made sure I have the disconnects in the proper positions they move,and the hammer will not release. It’s locked up, feels like I don’t have enough trigger travel. When I get back home I’m going to reinstall the milspec hammer and see if it releases. |

Just filed off the "flashing" leftover from the stamping process. On the other, I did the same thing, and it still wasn't working, so I installed a Black Rifle Armament extra length firing pin, designed for 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 primers. |

I’m actually going to get two more Carls for my kids guns. My son is gonna be pissed as I’ll be taking his ARC fire and G$ and using an Atrius and Dirty Bird nickel Teflon trigger with the CARL. He’s 9 so I can still take him

good day, just received my carl yesteday. install was pretty easy. i did have to file as per the video on the site but after about 9 swipes and a bit of fine emery cloth...function tested perfectly. went out this morning to try it out and i kept getting light primer strikes after 1 rd. ( semi...ok ) i have a tungsten h3 buffer in it and it worked flawlessly w/o the carl so i tried something i have not done since i tried my first wot. i found out that you can choke this thing out if your pressing the trigger too hard. all my other super safeties and azr`s i dont have to worry about it. so i just tried pressing the trigger just firm it works like a champ. just wondered if anyone else had this issue? |

Also the gun club has a hold on all frt's for now and I suspect they will want those of us to prove to the club that you can be safe with them. |

I’ll let you know how it goes. The CARL hammer spring is on the low end of standard power range. |
