(Deliberately cryptic) Sure hope Beta comes out with a drum.


That said I have a question on the select fire kit. I just bought a 3 round burst COlt setup. After reading the following:

"It is important to realize that you need the M16A2 hammer as it has a much wider area for the disconects to catch the hammer which is needed with the two disconects this system uses. Also, I elected to leave the Burst Cam attached to the hammer. Perhaps I will later remove it and replace the hammer spring with a standard M16A1 spring but it works as it is.

Now, to make the kit selctive fire you simply notch the disconector that interacts with the selector so that when the selector is placed in the semi position both disconects catch the hammer. In this position the notched disconect is not tripped by the link and I get semiauto fire. When the selector is moved to the "Auto" position, the notched disconect is pulled out of the way and the hammer is caught ONLY by the un-notched disconect which the link trips and I get Rock & Roll! "

My question is, how much of a "notch" should I make? Do you have a better photo, maybe a side shot of what the trigger and/or disconnectors look like after you've notched them?

Also, I dumped the 3 rd burst actuator. I didn't need to keep it did I?

Thanks.

Sorry, I have been swamped with some other projects... I will pull down my parts and get you some better photos... As for the CAM, I think I pulled mine out as well but I will confirm...
