I had a problem with the disconect on my red start two stage adj. trigger today when shooting at the range. Somehow the disconect adjustment screw got backed out and caused the disconect to stop catching if the trigger was not released imediatly. This resulted in burst firing from the rifle. Needless to say this scared the crap out of me the first time it happened, and to be honest the first few times i figured it was just a weak load or something causing the cocking cycle to short stroke leading to a slam fire. After looking at the gun i can tell this is not the case. Anyways after this happened i imediatly put the gun away. My question is this, is this safe for the gun? I only ask as im afraid to shoot it again for fear that it may occur again. I have adjusted the trigger to where i am almost certian it will not happen and have put some light loctight on it to hold the screw in place better. However i am worried to test the set up as i dunno if the burst happens again if it could harm the rifle in any way. Then again i debated that it cant be any worse or less safe than an AK set to F/A. . .is this good logic, or am i wrong? Ive never shot an AK on FA but the gun seemed to be cycling very fast, much faster than i would have expected FA to be. How does the FA on an AK work, is it just not allowing the disconect to catch through machanical means, or is it a mechanical process that times the bolt closing and hammer release? Sorry for the questions, just worried about hurting the new m92 yugo i build. Thanks, Pat |
Bad logic... Pull the trigger all the way back and hold it ...or tie it to the grip ...cycle the carrier...disconnector must catch the hammer. Information about automatic firearms including AK, can be obtained from www.deltapress.com/catalog/ |

Was it loctited the first time? if not then that is your problem, they will lose their setting after firing a few rounds if not loctited in place. The way your rifle is firing multiple rounds is not safe.The hammer is following the bolt and causing the firing pin to strike the primer,there is no guarantee that the bolt will be locked into the trunion when this happens and if it is not and the primer is hit...... You could be seriously injured or killed and the rifle will be wrecked. Hold your trigger back and cycle the boltcarrier back several times quickly,dry firing each time the bolt locks forward,make sure the disconnector is catching and holding the hammer each time.If not adjust the disconnector engagement screw till it is then loc tite in place,you should be fine.
