Hey guys,
I've got an old Colt Sporter (223) that I hadn't fired for a couple years until recently. When I decided to blow the dust off it, and put some rounds through it.
When I finally had it out at the range, I would fire a shot, and then, when I released the trigger the rifle would fire another shot.(to my dismay)
I field stripped the rifle immediately to examine the trigger group to see if I could see something out of place or irregular and could find nothing wrong.
It kept doing this sporaically throughout my range session.
I'm going to take it to a smith, to have the sear etc. examined, but I was wondering if any of you guys have experienced a similar problem.
It just disappointing for me because I have always considered this rifle my most reliable and dependable rifle in the past. Never even had a stoppage with it before.
Any other people have a similar problem with a colt or other S.Auto?
