Howdy all, I have a new Colt MT6400C and the trigger pull is lousy. What is the mil-spec for the trigger pull on the M-16? How does anyone rate expert if they have an (guess on my part) 8 pound gritty trigger "pull"? Is it luck of the draw?
I want to send a thanks out to this board for the great info I get here. I downloaded the "five minute" directions for reducing the pull weight, but I am a civilian. I expect Sgt. Knutcracker would take a dim view of any non-armorer modifications.
As an aside, I like the Colt. It would be a much better weapon (more satisfying at least) if the damn selector switch had three settings instead of two, but I like my life this side of the 'wire'. The muzzle break does add to the blast, but it isn't that bad, particularly if you are the shooter. It is, after all, all about ME. I shot all the commercial brass cased loads I could find for it- Federal XM193, Winchester Q3131A, Winchester's Wallyworld 55gr, Winchester white box 62gr, and Remington UMC55gr. The only bobble was a failure to feed (hung up on the feed ramp and it dented the cartridge case) on the last two rounds of a 30 round mag (Mil-Spec Labelle/mint green follower) with the Winchester Wallyworld .223 55gr. This was within the first 150 rounds I shot through the rifle, so I wrote it off to either the downloaded 223 spec ammo or the phase of the moon (1/4 full) or maybe what I had for breakfast (Raisin Bran).
As for the non-retractable retractable stock, it is goofy. IF the ban sunsets/implodes, what do I have to do to get it to retract? Is it "real", and all I have to do is remove the two weenie roll pins holding the stock in place, or will I have to replace the stock entirely?
Thanks all,
