    AR trigger question

    Ok so I was shooting my Ar and it cycles fine but the hammer is not re-sitting so it's pretty much a single shot.

    What do y'all think can be causing this issue?

    Perhaps it's undergassed

    Take this for what's it worth as I have built 3. It may not have enough pressure to bring the bolt back. Some things to check include a misaligned gas block, a gas hole in the barrel that is plugged or too small, perhaps the buffer spring is too stiff or the trigger springs are too stiff.

      Is it ejecting and picking up the next round?

        Did you build it or buy it?

        Give us more info. Most likely a gas issue.

                Post the build list. Especially the spring and buffer.

                  Check out the video on Youtube "How An AR-15 Rifle Works: Part 2". Sounds like the disconnect is not catching when the bolt cycles so the hammer is following the bolt forward.

                    Are you having to push the trigger forward to get it to reset?

                    I had that happen, I sanded the catch on the hammer and smoothed it out and it works fine now

                      Does the bolt lock open after the last round has been fired. What do you do to reset the hammer and make it fire again?
