The trigger disconnect is catching the hammer after the first shot in an AR-15. Should the cerakoting by sacrificed by milling out the fire control pocket or should the trigger be modified?
Under the direction of another member here, an 80% lower was milled and the measurements given were faulty. The depth of the fire control pocket is 1.243, spec is 1.249, diff of 0.006". The first trigger (Stag Arms LPK) tried wouldn't rock back enough to allow the disconnect to release without pressing down on the trigger rear shoulder. The second trigger would allow the trigger to pull, but the disconnect engages after the first shot and the trigger won't pull a second time until the bolt is manually cycled.
The rifle won't be modified with a drop-in trigger kit. There are a couple of choices: sacrifice the custom Cerakote color inside and mill to a greater depth, modify the disconnector, or cut a relief in the trigger for the fire selector switch. Which option would you recommend? Obviously the latter two are a much easier option.
