    Hi all,

    I just got a CA M15 RIS, it seems to have a mind of its own. When i have it off safty it seems wo want to fire of 20 or 30 rounds all on its own :eek:
    Usually when it is moved from lowered position to firing position.

    I thought it could be a loose connection in the trigger but it also seemed to go safe on be when in simi mode.

    Am i looking at a screwed mode selector or trigger. Never stripped an AEG so looking to narrow the scope first.

    Cheers
    Steve (Possessed M15 guy)

    it could be something metal inside the gearbox thats moving around and landing on the trigger contacts when you move it., not very common but possible., more likely is that the pin on the trigger circuit is sticking and the the trigger itself is returning to its possition and leaving the electrical contact behind., its a pretty easy fix really., :)
