CMMG308 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Good Day to All My Wife & I went to our Gun club Range to Celebrate our Anniversary 7/8/78 :auto:. We were making a lot of noise when Her AR15 FTF I stopped shooting My 308 to check on it. I put in a new magazine and it fired once and next pull of the trigger it let out a burst of 3 rounds. I opened it and could not see significant wear I put in another mag and tried again 1st pull of the trigger was another burst of three rounds tried one more mag another burst of three rounds. Some of the ammo were reloads and some were factory ammo. Is it just worn parts in the trigger group or something more serious that I should be looking for? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 check that disconnector spring. it's the usual suspect. also...be careful discussing this issue on a public forum. in the eyes of big brother, an accidental machine gun is still a machine gun.

survivalshop Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I would not worry about talking about it , its an honest malfunction & they didn't witness it , so it didn't happen . <thumbsup> As already said , the first thing I would do is disassemble the FCG & see if you have or had a spent primer under the disconnector or trigger & if all clean , check disconnector function or have a Smith check it out & make sure they are familiar with AR's .As said also , the disconnector spring could be broke or weak . . I have had both happen , spent primer in just the right place at the right time & had a disconnector go bad & same thing happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAR8Autoshucker Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome from NE and congratulations on your anniversary. Blue and Survivalshop perfectly described what has happened to me, if not either of those take it to a gun smith, or bury it untill the commies invade... WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!

Dane Armory Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 welcome from AZ ! Check for primer jammed in the milled pocket area pinching the trigger componets ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMG308 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks to all who replied. I will take it apart tonight and see if anything stands out as a problem. If nothing does I'll just order a two stage trigger kit that I've been looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracomeister Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Oh Crap, he's hooked! I dropped an SSA-E in the AR and it worked like a champ. Liked it so much I put one in the LR-308. Welcome aboard, you'll learn so much from the guys on this site that you might even get the mistaken notion that they actually know what they are doing!

survivalshop Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 anyone seen they make a G2S version of the ssae now. I have one in my 16" 308 & works great , not as nice as the SSA in my 20" 308 , but very close & a little different way of holding the hammer pin in .

CMMG308 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I got in to the FCG & found little pieces of debris in it. I cleaned & lubed it all and reassembled. Went to the Range on Friday all went well. Single shot with every pull of the Trigger. Thanks Again for all of the Replies and Greetings. Here's a Pic of My 308 and it's companions. Left to Right. 2013 CMMG 308 MK3,2012 JK Mustang Raptor 5.56,1939 Remington model 31 16 gauge, 1928 Winchester model 90 22LR, 1912 Remington Model 14 .25Rem, 1911 Winchester model 1890 22WRF. Glock 17 Gen 3 9mm. I know that there not all 308's but it's still fun to shoot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMMG308 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) When we went to the Range it did it again :auto:. I just ordered a two stage trigger set that rides on bronze bushings. I think She'll like it I know I will. I really have to get this repaired. The Gun Club We belong to shares the Range with 2 PDs, County Sheriffs Office, State Park Officers, CHP and the local DEA Officers. It's unstaffed but the Sheriffs Office has video on the Firing line. I don't need to do this with Officers there and I don't want to get Arrested. C:-) Thanks Again to all who helped diagnose this Fun problem. Edited July 31, 2014 by CMMG308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
