Okay tried posting at Troubleshooting and no response.  My bushmaster has developed a problem, the selector switch is stuck in the fire position but the trigger will not release(like it is stuck on safe). I have never had this problem before but have changed two things, put a LMT enhanced bolt on it which I did check the head spacing with a go gauge, and then also changed the pinned CAR stock out for one of the stubby entry model stocks.

Have you opened the rifle up and looked at the moving parts?

Sounds like the hammer is forward - only when the hammer is back is there enough room for the safety to rotate to safe. The trigger should prevent the safety from rotating until the sear engages. Just crack that thing open and have a look - you might have something trapped under the back end of the trigger - below the disconnector on the safety end of the trigger pin.

I have the rifle opened and do not see anything that might be holding it up.

You have a blown primer laying in the back of the lower that is keeping the trigger from returning all the way.

You cant just shake it out cause its stuck in the oil that puddles up back there.

Been there done that!

Well it froze up once got it to release, then happened again after two more mags. Okay, so I need to take it apart and get that out of there.  I will give it a shot, probably end up at teh gunsmith either way.  Thanks for the help guys.
