Help converting RLL to select fire with burst trigger.
Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2013 9:42 pm
I want to clear the air first so no one thinks I am trying something I shouldn't be.
I am a gunsmith that has a customer with a Lightning Link. I have helped him time it, machined his bolt carriers (5.56 & 9MM) to work with this. Of course, he has to be present while I work on it, so time is of the essence. He wants to be able to select semi or FA and I have tried to modify the disconnector as described by Quarterbore using the stock AR15 parts but have not achieved a reliable result.
I am going to go the burst trigger route but have a few questions. I know I will need the burst trigger, FA disconnector, and an M16 selector. My question is should I get the burst disconnect and cut the front hook off or modify a regular AR disconnect to use the further back spring?
I hope my question is clear enough. I have worked on many NFA weapons and know how most things work as designed but this modifying work can be trying when my customers time is probably worth more than mine.
Thanks and have a good Thanksgiving.
PS. In trying to get the RLL to work semi/ FA with the stock disconnector, i tried cutting the notch and milled the selector to raise and lower the LL and found the LL could bind or catch in the notch and not rise when going from semi to FA. I think a better way is to cut a shallow curved dip that will allow the LL to raise and lower with minimal resistance. Still, i couldn't get the reliable results my customer requires. Maybe this will help someone else with the project.
