[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1605488, member: 75779"] 2 incidents have happened in my gun owner ship career. The first was with a TC encore. I had adjusted the trigger to ~1.5# using some diamond files and polishing compound. Gun worked great for about 2 years. Then one day at the range, I cocked the hammer back and heard the click. So, I let it go and it released. The 300 WM went off by total surprise. Thinking it was a fluke, I repeated the steps with the same result. Next time was with an AR15. The military trigger was gritty, heavy, and creeped like cars at a stop sign. I polished the trigger to remove some of the roughness with Flitz. Took it to the range and was firing some bullets. About 3 magaizines later I fired the gun and it shot 2 shots in automatic fashion. Surprised and unsure of what had happened, I continued to shoot a few more shots. Couple of shots later it did it again. Well I stopped shooting it and took it apart. Threw the trigger assembly in the trash and ordered a trigger tech trigger. All good now. [/QUOTE]
