I read that this is the proper way to function check an AR15: Pull the charging handle to the rear and release. Place the selector lever on safe. Pull the trigger to the rear, the hammer should not fall. Place the selector lever on fire pull the trigger to the rear and hold. The hammer should fall. While holding the trigger to the rear, pull the charging handle to the rear and release. Release the trigger and pull it to the rear again. The hammer should fall. My AR15 does this however if I place the trigger on safe, pull and hold the trigger and then release the safety while holding the trigger the hammer will fall. Is it supposed to do this? Scot PS. I still need my BUIS and Free Floating Rail otherwise I would post pics. |

Probably. It's my first AR15 and I just want to make sure it functions correctly. If someone with a Bought AR15 was to tell me their Colt does the same thing that mine does when you old the trigger and switch from safe to fire I may feel better. You may be right though that I am making a mountain out of a mole hill. |

I understand that. Putting the safety selector on safe without the hammer cocked back cannot be done. What I am saying is: 1. Cock the Hammer 2. Put the selector on Safe. 3. Pull and hold the trigger. 4. While holding the trigger; flip the selector to fire. When I do this the hammer falls. |
Normal. Hammer is held back by sear on trigger, not by disconnecter in that condition Moving the safety to fire only allows the trigger to be pulled far enough back to release the sear. |
