Colt AR question
« on: December 01, 2008, 07:48:17 AM »
I am very familiar with the AR from 10 years military service (LOOOOOONG ago) but my new acquisition has something on it I do not know about.

Here is a picture



What the heck is that one thing on the receiver that looks like a control but is not? (The 'bar' above the trigger)  it looks the same on both sides of the receiver like it is an ambidextrous control but it does not move at all.

Haz..

That like something similar to the KNS anti-walk trigger pins.  Hard to tell from this distance, but they do not look like KNS version though.  Either way, those are covering/holding where your trigger pins are located.

I was told that there had been trigger work on it but he didn't know what had been done exactly.

When I said "it's in the other pix" I meant 'picture' not 'pitcher'.  ;D

Bidah is on the right track, lt covers both hammer and trigger pins, so most likely, a pin retension device, although I do not recognize it.

I think it may be a toe grip, Haz.
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.
