I have a budget AR that I have about 1K rounds through with no issues. To be honest, I don’t recall if this has a trigger I worked on, an aftermarket trigger or the stock budget trigger that came with the lower build kit.
A few days ago I picked up a 7.62x39 complete upper from Bear Creek Arsenal and swapped it for the 5.56 upper that was on the lower. I took it to Parabellum yesterday afternoon for function and mag testing. Testing didn’t go so great. I had feed issues with the first of my two ASC mags. The rounds weren’t getting their noses onto the feed ramps. Swapped to a C. Products mag and no more feed issues. However I was getting some bump firing if I was sloppy about trapping the trigger back firmly. I played with it for a couple more mags and got it consistently popping off 4-6 rounds at a time. While it’s kinda cool, I’d rather it didn’t do this!!! I’m guessing it is something in the trigger that wasn’t an issue with the lighter 5.56 rounds but has shown to be a big issue with the 7.62. I guess it is also possible that some difference in the BCG could be causing this or a combination of both trigger and BCG.
Looking for suggestions on what to look for when I tear it down this evening.
Thanks, Matt
