Review of my SWD Registered Lightning Link

[v188]

QB,

Just a follow up dumb question. I cut my 3 round burst kit, just like yours, except i don't have the burst "spinner" on the right side of the hammer. Anyway, it is full auto in both semi and auto. While the auto is fine, I really wanted this to be select fire. Any thoughts on why I don't get semi?

I cut the disconnect to look just like yours, same w/ the hammer.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

The only way this is possible is if your notched disconnect is not notched deep enough.

So, what must be happening is when you move the selector to the "burst" position the one disconect gets moved out of the way by the selector but the one that is remaining is still getting tripped by your link. I think you just need to make that notch deeper.

When I cut mine I pulled the link to the rear of the receiver with just the one disconect in the lower and then I notched it according to the depth that I needed so that the link didn't trip the disconect anymore.

If you need more photos I can get some for you.

I'm sorry for being so dense. I understand the principle but I'm hesitant to cut on the FSG any more without a picture or two.

If you wouldn't mind shooting a pic or two, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've read and reread your posting, and viewed the pics over and over.

I guess if I know what/where to chop off, I'll try cutting it again.

BTW, I just got my KNS LL protector. It's one tight fit, getting the rear pin pushed thru. I actually filed down the upper pin area (on the bottom) a little and now it shuts nicely. I didn't have any problems without the KNS.

Now to get it out and shooting. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet. I think about maybe getting an 11" upper from Armalite, just to make more noise/flash on the line. (Don't know if I want to SBR it tho)

BTW, the LL works great in 5.56. Hope it works as well in the Armalite.

I had to work all weekend so I am just now spending some time with the family... I will get some pics a little later.

remember that with the RLL, you don't have to have the receiver SBR'd. With the RLL in place, it is a MG, and barrel length has no meaning. just take the shorty upper off before removing the RLL, so the ATF won't be upset.
If you already knew that, my apologies.

I have a question. If you have more then one short barrelled upper for use with your LL and more then one lower, doesn't that make you in possession of a SBR if the short barrelled upper is not attached to the lower with the LL? I'm wondering if the ATF could try to prove that you "intended", their favorite word, to make a SBR out of the regular lower and the SBR upper even though they were not assembled as such?

[Quarterbore]

Not in my oppinion... I have an AR-15 pistol as well as the rLL and I am comfortable that there is not Jury in this country that would believe that I do not have a legal and rational reason for having more then two short barrels for my MG or pistol.

Quarterbore,

Any chance you could snap a photo or two of the select fire kit? I'm a visual guy, and I still can't get my Colt Burst kit to work. Hopefully some good individual photos or group pics would help me solve my dilemna.

Thanks,

I'm a little slow, but thanks for pointing out the extra cut you did on the disconnector. I didn't cut back the "short legged" disconnector on the top, and that's why it didn't work.

I'll be taking it out shortly to see how it works with my new big toy.

Thanks again!!!!!
