    Hammer or sear. Might be the 3 fingered spring. Take it apart and clean it really well. Hard to describe but inspect the working surfaces of the hammer and sear with a hand lens. Look for angle changes and damage areas.

    They can be fixed but most folks due better to just change out both.

    I think that you need to post photos of your gun.

    And, you need to give us a little more information. Is this a new gun? Used? Unknown? Parts gun? Someone else's gun?

    FORGE MONKEY has the correct test to find out why you have this problem. I agree Full auto will get your attention.
