i've spent about an hour on youtube looking for videos to explain how a trigger system works. (a while back i saw a video of a girl explaining how the sear/disconnector works pinned onto a piece of styrofoam that was awesome but i can't find it anymore). I'm curious about "trigger jobs" but i'd like to know how the system actually works. My problem is there are a billion videos on "trigger jobs" but all they do is say "here is how you remove the sear, this is what you do with the disconnector.. etc etc." but i'm kinda more a student than that. i want to know HOW the whole trigger/spring/disconnector system works. Like what makes a tigger BETTER than another one.

 

I guess my fear is that i will F with my gun and heaven forbid it goes full auto on me if i start dropping parts in without really knowing how things work.

 

so if anybody knows a good video link offhand.. or diagrams in a book it would be much appreciated. Again, not just the definition of a part, but how they interact.

 

thanks!
