Quick background on the gun, Stag Model one with stock internals, purchased new in May have put over 2000 rounds down pipe maybe closer to 3 not sure. Clean thoroughly, (i get anal).
This past weekend I was at the Sig Sauer Academy for a 2 day advanced rifle course, within my first magazine my rifle let off a burst (mind you it is not a full auto gun). I was concerned but kept shooting and through out the weekend it the same incident happened maybe 3 more times give or take. After the first night i took the trigger apart to inspect it, looks fine no flaws, and i wiped it dry as I thought I may have gotten some of my gun butter lube down by the sear.
Today I took it to the range again to test it out to see if I could determine the problem...whether it was the Sear or Disconnector failing. Shot over 100 rounds and it functioned flawlessly.
Just finished cleaning it for the last 3 hours, lubed it up and ran a function check...and I know found a problem. Safety worked fine, pulled the trigger and the hammer fell, held trigger to rear, cycled the bolt released the trigger and the metallic click sounded fine as the disconnector released the and sear grabbed the hammer. Ran the function check again and this time as I released the trigger after cycling the bolt the hammer did not catch on the sear but rather released and fell forward which would have explained the bursts of automatic fire. I then video taped a function check so you could all see and hear, again first attempt worked fine, but the second you can hear the distinct noise of the hammer falling as I release the trigger.
Anyone have any similar issues with Stag or any AR in general? During my cleaning i disassembled the trigger again to inspect it and cleaned it very thoroughly. It looked ok to me but now I am questioning this. COuld it just happen when slick from too much oil/lube getting on the mechanism? This seems to simple an error.
Thanks
