You are absolutely my hero! Thank you so much for sharing this information in such a simplistic method. Only place I found this info!

Good video and explanation of the "distance" between the disconnect and the sear engagement to the trigger.

Thanks man! This really worked. I was careful when using the dremel and measured how much i started with. I removed about a millimeter of material. My trigger was having hammer follow when I released the trigger very slowly. So if someone is having double fire and cant seem to replicate it during a function check, try releasing your trigger very very slow.

Realize too that parts here are often surface hardened. Once you kiss them with that grinding stone, you remove the hard facing and then the parts will wear quickly due to the softer steel being exposed.

except 7:04 is WRONG. It is legal to shoot doubles, IF the 2nd "bang" comes ONLY when you let off the trigger, or make some OTHER action, after the trigger "pull". Just "triples" are illegal (which is unlikely to be even possible: the next type of trigger malfunction which lets off "more extreme than just turning it into a binary trigger" should be "unlimited" not "triples" unlimited meaning "full-auto"). ~Bill S Preston, ESQUIRE.

Im not getting double fires, but my trigger wont reset. The disconnector wont let go of the trigger unless I pull the trigger forward or actuate the safety on and off.

I have done the same. And it works. My only caution is that you take it and test it and test it and test it again you do not want to be on the very edge of the seat and have a delayed release. Or an occasional double fire

Thank you. My kit was t together correcty but it isn't ihtting the disconnector at all. I haven't shot it because I knew it was going to possibly shoot on its own.

I’ll have to try this out. I replaced the disconnect and it still fire on trigger pull and trigger release.

Someone reports you for shooting a double and it's not in a robbery or another crime. There must be a special place in Hell for that type of person. Good video thanks for the help.

I am petrified to f with the trigger but might investigate it a bit and see if it will clean up…. Awesome Vid.

@@michaeljacques7336 You might want to recheck your information. Binary triggers are not illegal and if it is a binary trigger it's supposed to function that way. Now if you're manipulating the trigger to do what is called a bump fire with your fingers that is not illegal either as you have a legal trigger assembly. It is the way you personally manipulate the trigger to make a bonfire and that the ATF cannot regulate. Also realize the ATF does not make laws only the United States Congress has that authority.

@michaeljacques7336

@@gregoryromeu431 I’ll make my first statement more clear. Binary triggers are legal, the way a legal binary trigger functions is that the trigger is pulled, the hammer drops, the gun fires, the action cycles, the hammer locks back again, the trigger is released the hammer drops again and the the rifle fires and we are back at step one. Binary triggers that are sold by manufacturers do not function the way that the modification in this video does. With the modification in this video, it would seem that the trigger is functioning the same way, but when an AR trigger is modified in this way there is a sweet spot, where if the trigger is held in the middle of the pull range, the hammer does not catch the sear, nor is it caught by the trigger catch. This means that as the gun cycles the hammer just swings back and forth following the bolt. This is a major problem for two reasons, one: when the hammer follows the bolt either the hammer won’t have enough energy to set the primer of or the gun will slams fire. This makes the gun function as an open bolt machine gun, you are not cycling the trigger, you hold the trigger in one spot and fire multiple rounds, that’s a violation of the Hughes amendment. Two: It’s also extremely dangerous because you are firing full auto without and auto sear, which means that there is nothing to control the guns timing. If the bolt hangs up an all you will get an out of battery firing and the gun will explode in your face! If you don’t believe me there are more that a few videos on KZread of AR sears breaking, where the gun unexpectedly fires a few full auto bursts and then blows up. I say all of this as a trained gun smith and a guy who has made trigger groups from a block of steel with nothing but a set of files. Choose your own adventure!

Dude, huge thanks

Great video! I just finished an AR15 pistol and it dbbl fired! Never happened before and I wasn’t sure it even did until I saw two shells! My bad -first by putting disconnected spring upside down 🤦🏻‍♂️… I fixed that but now I have a very slight 1/8” pull before trigger actually engages. My best description would be what it feels like when safety is on and you attempt to fire getting that little pull before safety stops you. Any idea what’s happening?

You should pin a correction to this video for strong misinformation. It is NOT illegal to purchase, own and or function a binary trigger. It is not classified as a fire arm or machine gun so it is not illegal to manufacture as well. Only parts manufactured for purchase of the intent of creating a machine gun will be classified as a machine gun. Binary triggers still require one action for one shot. Auto Sears however ARE machine guns and require the tax stamp and all that good stuff.

Here in Florida, they are on the bump stock ban list, but the way the law is written is in a gray area. Almost anything could get you in trouble with the law depending on their interpretation. Below is what it says about the bump stock ban in Florida and what all is covered on said ban. Effective October 1, 2018 790.222 entitled Bump-fire stocks prohibited. Reads -A person may not import into this state or transfer, distribute, sell, keep for sale, offer for sale, possess, or give to another person a bump fire stock. A person who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree. The new law goes on to define the term “bump fire stock” to mean a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device. Reading the definition should cause concern. It is so vague that it could include almost any modification to your firearm.  There are many items sold that can accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm, including both handguns and rifles without making them automatic weapons: It can be argued that lightening the pressure necessary to pull the trigger increases the rate of fire to a faster rate than possible unassisted by a kit, tool, accessory or device. Until a court rules on this, understand that you may become the test case if you modify your firearm to fire more easily by decreasing the pressure necessary. Other accessories include, but are certainly not limited to: Traditional Bump stocks Crank fire devices Binary triggers and many more commercially available conversion kits or devices

I have a weird problem my AR can on get off one shot it cycles the second round but wen I pull the trigger it’s lick it goes into safety mode

Your the goat 🐐 for this one

Yup, this is an old gunsmith technique to file down the bottom of the AR-15 disconnect tail to get proper contact. This was a common problem and knowledge back in the early 80's when SGW was the only other game in town other than Colt...It won't hurt anything to file the entire bottom of the disconnect tail so it will drop farther to contact the sear...

Great video thank you

Had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM.... not reseting , hammer fall on release, i will give this a shot, this has been a 3 to 4 year project build ... palmetto trigger was gritty so it did the same & it felt great till i mated it up to the upper. What sux is i thought i ruined it, went & bought a dpms complete lower build kit... but a couple years later i opened only to find this kit missing hammer spring, disconnector& disconnector spring. Go fuigure... lol.. i will get around to it..

Depends on where you are but binary is legal in some states and full auto is still legal if you have an 07 ffl and an 02 sot

Binary triggers are legal. Pull and release are two separate functions. Don’t remove material from the bearing surfaces of your FCG. “Polishing” a trigger should not remove material or you’re using the wrong attachment on the tool.

1) binary triggers are not illegal. 2) that Dremel should not be anywhere near your trigger. 3) if you have a problem get a new disconnector or check that your spring is installed correctly. Do not dremel or file triggers 4) If you want a lighter trigger get a nice two-stage component trigger like the larue mbt2s or Schmidt tool

Did a build first time out shot 50 rounds no problem. Went back two weeks later double shots replaced with new trigger still had problems just exactly how much of the tip should you find off not a mechanic. So the problem is with the disconnector

thanks bro, that fxed my issue

not all heros wear capes

Great video on fixing a binary, but Binaries are 100% Legal according to ATF, NFA Rules only apply when manufacturing or selling a Binary trigger because you need to prove its not a fully auto. No hate but this is common misconception with the law because of the it is written. There are two (Binary) motions to fire the round not a single continuous press of the trigger to send multiple rounds down range, therefor its not a class 3 and no NFA rules apply. However State and Local laws still apply just like for the bump fire stock. Happy shooting and I advise everyone to check their State Laws before shooting binary, and just don't just at the range because everyone is an "expert".

So to sum it up, you messed with a mil-spec trigger, designed not to be a 3 lb. target trigger but designed for combat, and in changing four precision metal surfaces with your Dremel tool, you screwed it up and NOW have fixed the problems you created. Is that about right?
