This video details troubleshooting a .300 Blackout AR pistol build that suffered from undergassing and hammer follow. The issues were resolved by swapping the trigger to a Geissele SD-3G, then a Faxon skeletonized BCG, and finally by precisely realigning the gas port and gas block, which was found to be the root cause due to a tolerance stack issue between brands.

This video from Brownells, featuring hosts Caleb and Steve, serves as a cautionary guide against performing trigger jobs on mil-spec AR-15s due to inherent design limitations and metallurgy. They explain how altering sear geometry can lead to dangerous malfunctions. While minor burr removal might be acceptable, significant stoning is discouraged. The hosts recommend aftermarket triggers like the ALG Defense Enhanced Mil-Spec Trigger as a safer alternative for improving trigger feel and performance.

This guide details the installation of a Franklin Armory BFSIII AK-C1 binary trigger into an RPK-style rifle (AES-10B). It covers the trigger's modes of operation (Safe, Semi, Binary) and highlights potential issues like suppressor alignment on the RPK. The video emphasizes that binary triggers are not machine guns under NFA definitions, functioning as rapid semi-automatic devices.

This review details the Franklin Armory binary trigger for B&T GHM9/APC9 pistols. While offering simulated rapid fire, it's prone to 'hammer follow' if cycled too quickly, making it unsuitable for self-defense but a fun range accessory. The trigger functions reliably with controlled bursts and performs well suppressed.
