Probably a stupid Newbie question, but I was curious what would happen? |
|
I doubt it would slam fire in an AR. More than likely, what happens is the hammer will follow the bolt carrier, and ride it down. By the time the bolt locks, the hammer will not have enough energy to impact the primer, and will simply be a one shot rifle. You will have to recharge, eject a good cartridge from the chamber, release, and repeat. |

Actually you could get the gun to operate normally with the disconnector removed, if you installed a AAC rate reducer buffer in the buttstock. Rate of fire drops to about 650 rpm and you could tap off a single quick shot and get the trigger returned quick enough to catch the hammer. Without the rate reducer, you will have a straight pull bolt action single shot. |
