How do you keep direct threads from walking off? Do you just have to keep an eye on it or can you use Rocksett? Edit: I didn’t see the above post

Similar thing happened. Locked up- hammer would not drop. Selector would only shift to single and binary- would not move to safe. Hammer would not fall. It was fun while it lasted. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Had an issue with mine last week also on my belt bed after about 1k rounds. It was really weird, it locked up. Hammer wouldn’t fall. Trigger was locked. Kept playing with it and somehow freed itself and started working again. Didn’t fire it again cause I was dark and scared it wasn’t actually fixed. Wanted to look at it more closely once i got home. Seems good to go |

I had the little nub that holds the floating sear lever break off on a Gen 1 trigger pack.
Sent it back to Fostec and they welded/soldered it back on. Runs great as a recreational range toy. |

If your rear cap has any small holes you could replicate something like this mac11 suppressor collar for the gemtec viper
I have been toying with making a similar collar from a flat band of stainless and a single tension screw to draw it tight on the barrel. Then it would have a small pin that interfaces with the rear of the can to prevent it from rotating loose. I have had issues with direct threads coming loose over a long course of fire on a precision rifle :/ accuracy goes to hell but luckily I never had a baffle strike. |

To do it proper, leave the housing in printed form, but have all the internals laser/waterjet cut out of tool steel. That would get them the best of both worlds. |

Does this happen with 5.56 as much as 9mm ARs? Seems like 9mm's have had more rep of beating up parts than 5.56.
I love my Fostech trigger in 5.56 - I'd hate to have it end up like that! They are not cheap. |

My fostech started doing 2 rd bursts in semi mode after ~ 300rds. Took quite a few emails for them to replace it. Durability is definitely a problem with their poorly made crap.

Well I don't know exactly how man rounds but it was the same trigger I was having problems left with last time. Except this time didn't have a single hang up besides failure to feed due to links being too tight. I dont get it. Not that I want it to fail but it was like a whole new trigger compared to last time.
I'll take more pictures tomorrow but this is all I have for right now. I shot this plus another (2) 250.? round pouches.  Attached File |

So far it doesn’t look anything like these pics of the fostech. The system can out run itself, but once the cadence is learned you can mag dump. I experimented with diffetent buffer weights and springs, and the BAD Industures PDW stock uses its own buffer and spring system. It has worked the best. |
