Today was a great day to get out to the range and enjoy the beginning of spring.  It was only the 2nd time out for my new pet, and it shot flawlessly except for one bizarre instance I wonder if you guys could explain.  About midway through the 2nd mag and somewhere once in the 3rd it fired when I reset the trigger, like just when it clicked without any significant travel.  It's just a regular stock trigger with a measured 4.375 lb pull, totally unaltered and nothing fancy about it.  Is there anything in particular that could cause this and is it something to fix now or will fix itself generally?  Maybe I oiled it too much?  I gave the bolt a fresh blast of CLP last night before shooting this afternoon.

Anyone?  Anyone at all?  I've got some new people I'm taking to shoot for the first time in a week or two so I need to have this working 100% right so it won't scare them.  Much appreciated.

Are you saying the hammer dropped again when you were letting off of the trigger slowly? I had a modded trigger that would do that in a certain rifle.. After squeezing the trigger if you let off real slow it would fire off another round. I changed it out for a unmodded trigger group.. What brand is this rifle?

If you mean it fired during trigger reset, it's the disconnector.  I've seen quit a few do that NIB.

It's an Anvil Arms that I put together myself.  A couple of my other sources told me to check to see if the disconnector spring was upside down (big end up rather than little end up), so I checked it and it was, so I put it back together small side up.  Dry firing before and after shows a difference.  Going to the range now to see if that cures it totally.
