G36C always 99% of the time in full auto

I cant seem to figure this one out myself.

So, its wants to fire in full-auto in semi. Yet, sometimes if i get it just right or some divine intervention it will shoot semi, in semi mode. Safety works btw.

Yes, everything is lined up properly. It make be a problem or wear and tear, but I cant seem to find any wear and tear. Cut off leave? selector plate? its gotta be one of those, but again i cant notice any problems. I also do not have a spare cut off leaver to experiment with either or a selector plate...so any ideas?

Its not electrical, its positively mechanical. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Spa

Agreed. That would be the first place I'd look.

Does it do it when it's out of the lower receiver? If you're manually holding the selector plate so that it's not bumping the cut-off lever at all?

check slector switch spring placement, wear on cutoff lever or sector gear.

My M4 was doing that and i changed the selector plate.

My G&G M4 was doing something similar from almost new, it would fire short auto bursts in semi and a quick pull of the trigger in auto and it would continue to fire auto for 1-2 seconds AFTER the trigger was let go. I figured it was something sticky inside (cut off lever?). A short spritz of silicon spray up into the gearbox, from around the trigger, and everything worked fine afterward... go figure.

sometimes when the cut-off lever gets soaked on grease, it doesn't want to move freely anymore making the rifle in full-auto only.
