So I'm putting the guts into my lower receiver. Got the trigger and disconnector in with little hassle. The spring on the hammer was a bit stronger than I expected, but I think I got that in okay too. When I run through a quick function test, everything seems to work okay except for the disconnector. Which I know is a big problem.
Here's my function test:
1. Push hammer assembly into receiver area to "cock" it.
2. Pull trigger to "fire" and release hammer (but avoid letting the hammer slam into the receiver body). After hammer has been fired, I keep the trigger pulled back and do not let it reset, so to speak.
3. Then I try and push the hammer back into position. Here's where it's supposed to "catch" on the disconnector to avoid the full auto issue. Except that with the trigger pulled all the way back, the hammer never engages the disconnector. I have to let the trigger creep forward the slightest bit. Then, while I'm still holding the hammer back, I can feel it catch on the disconnector.
4. Finally, I release all pressure on the trigger, letting it come forward fully, and I can feel and hear the hammer catch on its appropriate place on the trigger.
For comparison purposes, I did the same function test on my factory-made Bushy lower. I didn't have a problem engaging the hammer on the disconnector with the trigger pulled fully rearward.
My question is whether or not this is really a problem, since I know I'm not shooting full auto and will likely not be holding the trigger fully rearward when I'm shooting. On the other hand, I don't want to this be a case where in an actual firing situation it will totally miss engaging the disconnector unless I am holding the trigger in exactly the right position.
Thoughts, questions, suggestions?
Oh, in case you think it makes a difference, the lower is a DMPS and the parts are from J&T Distributing.
