Abstract
In some embodiments, a fire control mechanism comprises a trigger arranged to pivot about an axis and a disconnector arranged to pivot about the axis with respect to the trigger. The disconnector comprises a first stop and a second stop. A distance between the axis and the second stop is greater than a distance between the axis and the first stop. The disconnector comprises a first orientation and a second orientation, and a disconnector spring is arranged to bias the disconnector to the first orientation. The first stop contacts a first interfering surface in the first orientation and the second stop contacts a second interfering surface in the second orientation.

A fire control mechanism comprising:
- a trigger arranged to pivot about an axis, the trigger comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall defining a cavity, a connecting member extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, a lower surface of the trigger comprising an aperture into the cavity, the aperture adjacent to the connecting member;
- a disconnector arranged to pivot about the axis with respect to the trigger, the disconnector comprising a first stop and a second stop, a distance between the axis and the second stop being greater than a distance between the axis and the first stop, the disconnector comprising a first orientation and a second orientation;
- and
- a disconnector spring arranged to bias the disconnector to the first orientation;
- wherein the first stop contacts a first interfering surface in the first orientation and the second stop contacts the connecting member in the second orientation.
A fire control mechanism comprising:
- a trigger arranged to pivot about an axis, the trigger comprising a first sidewall and a second sidewall defining a cavity, a connecting member extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, a lower surface of the trigger comprising an aperture into the cavity, the aperture adjacent to the connecting member, the trigger comprising a first seat;
- a disconnector arranged to pivot about the axis with respect to the trigger, the disconnector comprising a second seat;
- a disconnector spring extending between the first seat and the second seat, the disconnector spring biasing the disconnector in a first rotational direction about the axis;
- wherein the disconnector comprises a rotation stop arranged to limit rotation of the disconnector in a second rotational direction about the axis, the rotation stop arranged to contact the connecting member, a distance from the axis to the rotation stop being greater than a distance from the axis to the disconnector spring.
