New Frontier Polymer Full Auto AR Help...

[shocka04]

I have to add that I did the same thing with my build this weekend except I noticed the spring as soon as I was done so I had to backtrack to see where it was supposed to go. Like yellowsled said, that function tests passes even without the spring because I checked the same thing during install. That's why I never noticed it missing til the end.

Thats it. It goes into the Trigger. Fat side DOWN. Youll have to push it hard into the hole cut for the spring.

Twisting the spring as you install it to effectively make the diameter smaller helps it go in a lot easier.

Well that makes it a pretty useless functional check if it works w/o the spring.

Just saved myself a step in the rest of my builds.

When it isn't expected and legal, it's not so fun. Been there myself.

It will also get you instantly tossed off most ranges around here, not that it's happened to me personally, but I've witnessed it a time or two.

Glad things worked out for OP though, while I wouldn't call this a real common mistake, it does happen, but the good news is the fix is pretty quick and simple.

Full auto is ok at the range I was at last weekend as the Rangemaster actually asked me if he can fire my gun as he never fired a full auto AR.

If this happened at HAP Baker, I might have gotten in a tad bit of trouble. I dont think they would have kicked me off though as I am a lifetime member there.

That's because the people over on that site think they know more than they actually do.

Newbie mistake, I missed the same spring as well on my first built. Tiny spring makes a big differences in live function.

I don't see any issues with the Polymer Stripped Lowers. I just reason built my first poly lower, I noticed everything assembled easier except the selector is tighter. I still prefer Aluminum Lowers over Poly any day.
