I finished assembling a stripped lower last night, many thanks to the numerous 'how to's' on the board!  One question that struck me as I was putting together the lower and following the various 'function checks' provided...  

What the heck would happen if you did not install the disconnector?  I'm guessing that, doing that could only lead to trouble, or perhaps severe bodily injury, but I'm asking the question none the less. :)

The trigger would follow the Bolt Carrier when it goes back into battery with insufficent force to cause the firing pin to strike and ignite the primer.

I'm thinking the hammer would follow the bolt carrier. Not the trigger.

I agree as well, and with some carriers like some of colts semi autos carrier it would or could bind up as well.

Just don't do it is all I can say it's always better safe the sorry after the fact.....

the least, the trigger would fail to reset properly.  That's the whole point of the the disconnector.  It's there to hold the hammer in place while the gun cycles while the trigger is being held down.  Without the disconnector, you basically have to be able to let go of the trigger before the gun locks into battery.

At worst, your gun will fire in full automatic, but with poor timing.  It might pull of a few bursts, it might not.

Best thing to do is leave the disconnector in.
