I finally got around to completing my TGO AR today. :woohoo:  Upper and lower receiver were completed in the spring, then we moved, and I ran out of money. Got the barrel and hand guards in a week ago, and today was the big day.

 

At first, it would fire one round, cycle the bolt and load a second round, but then wouldn't fire the second round. I discovered that if I put it to safe and back to fire it would fire off the next round and then not fire again. Repeating the safety of/on made the next round fire.

 

Took it all apart and discovered that when cocking the hammer with the trigger pulled back, the disconnector wouldn't reset. I manually pulled the hammer back to cocked and pushed it forward about 100 times and it eventually loosened up. Works perfectly now.

 

All I need now is a scope and it'll be all done.

I have NEVER had that happen. I wonder if your disconnector spring is upside down. Fat side goes down.

I read that that was a possibility, so I took the trigger out and checked. It was installed correctly. :shrug:

I had the same symptoms and it was the spring. The guy doing the youtube video did some sleight of hand that I missed.

My set is still sitting in the safe, untouched.  I'll decide what to build with them one of these days.   Some very nice looking builds in the thread !
