Hey dudes. I'm having some trouble with my latest AR-15 build. Maybe you can help me figure out what I did wrong. I think I've isolated it to the bolt release area.
-
I am using a BAD lever (inb4 raifu clit massage)
-
I installed my (modified) bolt release spring underneath the bolt release holding it in the catch position unless the BAD lever is pressed.
-
Not sure if relevant, but I'm also using a modified firing pin that seems to always protrude from the bolt face.
What seems to be happening is that whenever I press my BAD lever, I get full auto fire from an open bolt type system and the trigger does nothing. Any ideas how I can fix this???
Also, not sure if this matters, but I am just a stupid democrat politician and am only making a rifle for an ad campaign video so the NFA or whatever (IDEK what that is) doesn't apply to me. Also I'm a woman (obv.) so be nice to me and no mean comments.

What did you actually do wrong? Or so. so right?
Sounds like s/he’s using a bolt release as a sear. I remember seeing some talk about this when the bad levers first came out. IIRC the bolt release springs up to prevent runaway fire and you can insert a dowel rod into the carrier in such a way as to keep the firing pin forward like an open bolt firing system. u/migger how close am I?
Does it count as a machine gun since the trigger does not fire more than one shot per pull?
Best bet is to remove the trigger altogether.
