Has anyone experienced this? It has happened a few times with different ammo.

My kit is not that old and I haven't noticed any damage to the kit or lower.

Are you speaking of an AR?

I once had a discharge when the trigger was pulled, and another when I let off the trigger.

Turned out that my trigger pin decided to take a walk without me.

doubling is BAD (as in an illegal machine-gun) take a look at your fire control group as something is worn or not properly installed.

i've had this happen on my M16 while the selector was on semi. Not sure what caused it, it did it once, and hasn't done it since.

That's a MINOR issue compared to all the other shit that's wrong with my 22 kit.

Yes, it's an AR15 with a Ciener kit. I doubt that it is my lower cause last time, I was using a Mega lower and a while ago, I was using a Bushmaster. Everything is where it's supposed to go but I guess I'll take a second look just in case.

It could be that your hammer is not being reset. (That may not be the correct terminology, but you get the picture.)

yes , its happened to me as well , its a recent thing , ive had the setup a while and its always been fine before , but unlike you ive only noted it with one ammo brand - while ive been alternately trying out about six diferent brands for best perfomance , and it was only the first two rounds from the 10rnd mag each time , i had none with the 'blackdog 30rnd' at all

If you're shooting a .22, I've noticed that many cases of a .22 going FA are ammo-sensitive. For some reason, some ammo cycles at just the right rate for the hammer to not reset or something of that kind. Try shooting a hotter ammo, or a lighter one. A brand change often fixes the problem.

I guess the ammo issue makes more sense. I checked the lower parts for any flaws and found nothing. I am going to leave the Federal variety (Ammo Match, Value and Champions) for the 10/22's and try some Rem value packs for the ciener. I'll post an update when I try again.

it happens to me from time to time w/ different guns, parts check out ok. i belive it's from the pull of the trigger, if you pull slow & steady, like if shooting for accuracy. it never happens w/ harder, faster yank like when just blasting. i think some gun's have a small window of oppertunity were if you pull slow sometimes the stars line up & the disconnector dosen't catch the hammer because the trigger isn't pulled back far enough yet it's still far enough to not catch the hammer w/ primary sear surface on trigger. i've never been able to do it intentionaly though.

My Ceiner kit used to do it on my 20" Bushmaster with the first pull of the trigger on a fresh mag. Doesn't do it on my Colt. It used to happen so fast, unless you were counting rounds, you'd hardly notice.

For me it is pretty noticeable. I just hope it isn't for others at the range. It is kind of funny when it happens. I just try to "conceal" the issue and start to shoot as fast as I can.

My AR with the Ciener kit does this.  It is kinda funny/cool, but I'm sure if a ranger heard/saw it, you'd be asked to fix it.  I would like to fix it but I don't really know where to start.  Also, the way you pull the trigger does change it a bunch.  Slow pulls end up double tapping, sometimes it does it on the trigger return.  Quick crisp pulls normally cycle properly.

I use the federal 550 round packs from Wal-mart.  My interal parts are RRA, the lower is a Superior.
