[QUOTE="tulsacrittergetter, post: 2973477, member: 41264"] Well, I discovered that when I put an unmodified disconnector with the polished hammer and polished trigger, it works perfectly, with a tad over 4 lbs. on the pull. But when I use the disconnector that I was using (it was very old and worn down on some edges....I'm guessing that maybe it has seen north of 10,000 rounds in a very short period), BAM - full auto. So, I ditched the disconnector. The hammer and trigger I polished are good to go and the rifle functions normally (one at a time). For those of you that asked, the [B]Crossfire II[/B] is amazing — for sure the nicest piece of glass I own. Although I haven't taken it out past 25 yards yet, I do have a feeling that it will work well with the LR308 build that I'm working on right now. The new gun feels really good. It's heavy. It will make a good medium range coyote and small game rifle, though. Once I get the good match ammo I ordered online, I'll be doing accuracy tests at 100, 200, and 300 yards.
