    AR double fire issues?

    I have about 100 rounds through my AR and today it started to rapid fire in 2 round burst. It doesn't do it all the time, I just wondering what would cause this so i can fix it before i go to the range again.
    I only have 1 mag so i couldn't try another one but the one i do have is brand new magpul 10/30

    Define "rapid fire in 2 round burst".
    Does it fire 2 rounds with one pull of the trigger or are you puling the trigger for each shot?

      Your hammer spring is probably installed backwards.

          There could be several reasons for the double fire, check your fire control group for any loose parts. I would get it chcked out by a gunsmith do not fire it until you getthe issue fixed

            You could be bump firing it, have another shooter shoot it. If not, do a complete function test and make sure the hammer is catching the disconnector while holding down the trigger and cycling the bolt, you should hear a click when you release the trigger.

              Want to post what ammo and BCG parts you're using?

                I had this happen several times recently. Is your trigger or hammer pin walking out?

                  That's a bonus feature!

                  Just kidding... check the disconnector spring on your trigger, it could be backwards.

                              Wolf ammo has hard anvil primers, so no. It's more likely with high grade hunting or match ammo.
