But they said it wasn't due to hammer follow??? Without an auto sear, all they could hope to accomplish is keeping the disconnector from grabbing the hammer...right?

I am not concerned with what "they" said. I said that installing an M-16 FCG will cause an AR to fire more than one round per trigger pull with the selector in "Auto" - a correct statement.Quote:

Me too. It would be annoying for the selector to move beyond its normal rotation.Quote:

Flipped 180 to where "AUTO" would normally be it'll fire in semiautomatic mode. Unless you have shitty disconnector timing there is no full-auto sear to release the hammer once the bolt is locked.
Olympic Arms sold metric ass-loads of AR rifles and carbines with GI selectors in the 80s and early 90s that would go past 90-degrees. New-old stock selectors eventually dried up as the assault rifle ban kicked-in in 1994.

Can confirm. It works perfectly in the third position as a semi auto, no difference whatsoever.Quote:

It's not something you can do by accident, and even if you did I confirmed through reliability checks that it functions in semi in that position with no change whatsoever.Quote:
