This guide details the correction of a common AR-15 trigger assembly error that can lead to unintended full-auto fire. A gunsmith demonstrates how an incorrectly installed hammer spring and a missing sear spring caused a malfunction. Proper identification and reinstallation of these components are crucial for safe and reliable firearm operation. Instruction is provided by an expert gunsmith from D'Boss Firearms.

This video provides a clear, step-by-step guide on how to install a single-stage trigger on AR-15 and AR-style rifles. It highlights the process as easy and quick, achievable in under 5 minutes. The video covers necessary tools, the installation of trigger, hammer, and disconnecter springs, as well as the trigger and hammer components. It also briefly touches on how to remove a trigger. AT3 Tactical aims to educate the AR-15 community on building and maintaining their firearms safely and knowledgeably.

This guide, presented by Steven Caleb from Brownells, details the top 5 common mistakes made during AR-15 builds. It covers issues like breaking trigger guard ears, scratching the receiver during bolt catch pin installation, incorrect hammer spring orientation, improper trigger pin retention, and the misuse of tools. Following these expert tips ensures a more reliable and aesthetically pleasing firearm build.

This video details a follow-up range trip for a bobbed hammer Charter Arms Undercover revolver. The owner successfully addressed a previous issue by replacing the hammer spring, which allowed previously problematic reloads to function reliably. The successful test confirms the owner's confidence in carrying the firearm again, highlighting its readiness for personal defense.

This "Smyth Busters" episode debunks the myth that large-caliber AR-15s require heavier hammer springs. The video explains that cartridge size is irrelevant to hammer spring force and that primer hardness is the key factor. It explores how this misconception might have originated from issues with over-gassed guns or unreliable ignition with certain ammunition like 7.62x39mm. Ultimately, the video concludes that a standard AR-15 hammer spring is sufficient for most large-caliber applications, unless dealing with difficult primers.

This video focuses on the top three most common AR-15 malfunctions, offering quick tips to resolve them. Expert Caleb Savant details issues like gas block misalignment, incorrect buffer weight or spring, and improperly installed hammer springs. He explains how these problems disrupt AR-15 operation, leading to feeding, extraction, or ejection failures. The advice is relevant for both home-built and factory AR-15s, with a specific call to action for correctly installing mil-spec trigger hammer springs.

This video from Brownells features Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant discussing essential spare parts for AK-47, AK-74, and other Kalashnikov-platform rifles. They highlight the importance of replacement springs (hammer, trigger, extractor, recoil) as they can lose tension over time, especially when using a sound suppressor. While other parts like firing pins and extractors are generally durable due to the AK's robust design, the video emphasizes that spare magazines are the most critical "spare part" to have on hand. The advice is practical for AK owners looking to maintain their firearms.

Essential AR-15 spare parts include gas rings, buffer springs, extractor springs, and firing pin retaining pins. Shorter barrels accelerate wear on internal components. Measure buffer springs for serviceability: carbine springs should be at least 10 1/16 inches, rifle springs 11 1/4 inches. Keep original mil-spec trigger parts as backups for aftermarket triggers.
