[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR-15 wierd problem

Posted: 2/18/2007 8:19:14 PM EDT

I have an AR-15 and when I have the mag out and the bolt closed for some reason I cannot move the lever to the SAFE or FIRE positions. If I pull the charging handle, I can then move the lever to SAFE or FIRE. Is this normal for the lever not to move until you pull the charging handle.

Thanks,

If you pull the trigger and drop the hammer the safe/fire selector will not move.

It is normal for the safety selector to not move if the hammer is not "set" back.

It's totally trashed - I'll dispose of it for you in my hazardous waste ~~safe~~ dump, if you send it to me by Thursday.

Okay, they're all correct. No worries.

You can still send it to my FFL is you want the info
