I took my (new to me) SAR-2 to the range yesterday and it worked like a dream. every mag fed well and i was hitting black at 100m consistantly after zero. once or twice I could swear she let off two rounds with one trigger pull. anyone else had this happen?

problems. Replacing it with a Tapco G2 single hook trigger set will fix all of that.

Accidental bump-fire, comrade.
You can hold down the trigger after you take the shot. Your finger's natural reaction is to let go of the trigger as soon as you pull it. It can cause the gun to jerk a bit as well as accidental bumpfire, trigger slap, etc., Ease the trigger, and hold it down as the round lets off. Lift off your finger as the next round chambers, rinse and repeat. This will give you better control with practice. I'm not advocating this to be the best method in the world, but that is just how I shoot and it works for me. Give it a try and see how it works for you. Good luck, comrade

Or..... There is a legitimate problem and it could well get worse. You need a through function check, starting with cycling the weapon while manipulating
the trigger and watching what's going on with the top cover removed. If you are at all mechanically inclined you'll see how it works, and how it can not-work. This is usually disconector, sometimes hammer or trigger. A G2 is not infallible, at all, I just fixed one that was consistently double and triple slam firing last week. More often than not, though people with good trigger habits don't notice if they are marginal instead of outright failing, an AK trigger will need a little love if it's not factory original. This ain't an AR. Basically make DAMN sure it's unloaded and pointed safe, pull the top cover, safety off, pull the trigger and hold it, while holding cycle the charging handle slowly and watch how the disconector grabs the hammer, while still holding the trigger let the action go forward. As you release the trigger this is usually where the trouble is, you'll see there is a dance the hammer trigger and disconector do such that the hammer moves from being held by the disconector to being held by the trigger, this is what we call Reset and you can feel it if you take notice. You'll find on some guns there isn't a lot of room for error or overlap of the two events at hand-off, and if you wuss-finger the trigger it can miss said hand-off and the hammer follows the bolt carrier home and BANG when you don't expect it. If you can't grasp the relationship and what's going on in there, have someone look at it that can, for safety's sake. It's perfectly likely it was an accidental bumpfire, but you'd have to be limp wristing the hell out of it for that to happen. It's also perfectly possible for someone with good trigger control and habits to fire a gun that has problems, and have no problem. That don't mean there ISN'T a problem. Whatever you do have fun, it's good learning. Next you can polish the mating surfaces and have it not feel quite so much like, well, an AK. You can adjust the over-travel and the length of pull and such as well, if you shoot other guns much, especially AR's with good triggers or bolt guns, the AK will annoy you if you are trying to shoot accurately. |
