I had this exact issue with my SCAR. There's a couple possible issues... lip on the front of the trigger is too worn down to hold the hammer when the disconnector lets go of it, which can be a result from the hammer being reinforced but not the trigger. Replace and/or upgrade the trigger, and problem goes away. Second thing it could be is the disconnector hook IN the trigger is worn down and not holding onto the hammer... which means the automatic fire isn't interrupted (disconnected), and it'll keep firing. Again, typically a result of a reinforced hammer but not a reinforced disconnector. Replace the disconnector, and issue goes away.
Basically, the full-auto sear takes the place of the disconnector, but can operate faster, and is triggered by the bolt returning home, not the trigger returning. When in full, the disconnector is moved out of the path of the hammer by the knob on the bottom of the selector.
When in semi-auto, only the trigger, hammer, and disconnector are in use... so if any of the contact surfaces are worn down too much, the cycle will keep going until the trigger is released and the main body of the trigger can stop the hammer.
I find a lot of people will upgrade the hammer because it gets the most of the force, the bolt hits it hard every cycle. But now there's a hardness difference between the contacting pieces and the hammer. When it's all stock, it's all the same metal, and there's no issue. If it's all reinforced (and by the same company, can't guarantee same material if different companies), then also no issue. But if they're different materials, something is going to wear down.
Therefore, you likely need a new trigger and/or disconnector, from the same company your hammer is from, and your issue should disappear.
If there hasn't been any sort of damage to the trigger assembly frame (how that would happen, i don't know), then nothing should ever be "off-level", because the pins that the parts rotate around will be in the same spots. The selector being worn may cause different angles of the disconnector and the full-auto sear, but since it doesn't get any sort of impact, it's not likely the selector is worn.

My WE M4 shoots full auto on SEMI. I know that Tyson posted up a pic of the full auto sear (part 48) and mine is installed correctly like the picture. When the gun is placed on SEMI, the full auto sear is completely vertical, but if its on AUTO, the sear is angled around 15 degrees backwards... Im pretty sure this is normal. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |
