I just recently got my LMT upper & lower, I haven't shot it yet, but its failing a simple function. When I cock the charging handle back, and engage the bolt catch (to lock the bolt open), then push back the charging handle into the rifle, I cannot switch from fire to safe. I have a few other AR's and have no dificulty making the swich from fire to safe while the bolt is locked. Two questions.... 1.) Has anyone had the prob? 2.) Is there a way to fix it? My 0.02 cents; The problem is occurring because the hammer is being slightly depressed (after being cocked already) and its not letting the fire selector freely make the switch from fire to safe. Like I said none of the other AR's are doing this. LMT said there rifles are supposed to make the switch in the locked position. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead, Francisco E |

I would make sure the disconnector moves freely and the disconnector spring is installed correctly. Also most hammers have a slight flat spot ground on the back of them above the notch that the trigger catches in. I have seen a few that this was not done on. It could hold the trigger up in the back when the hammer is back. There also were some triggers out a while back that set to high. All the ones I had like that could be recognized by the front two edges being blued like the trigger instead of shiny were it was ground. |

to finish this out for any who come looking later we fixed on IM here is the pic ogcujo sent to me  the yellow arrow points to the area that needs to be SLIGHTLY relieved, do not touch the notch where the trigger mates. I use a small diamond stone but a Dremel and a deft hand can also do it. |
