t. When the hammer is fully to the rear, it is initially caught by the automatic sear. However, the
front hook of the burst disconnector is now fully in the next stop notch which is deeper than the
others.

Figure 20. Completion of Firing.
u. Because a stop notch is deeper than the others, it allows the front hook of the burst disconnector
further forward than before. This allows the rear hook of the burst disconnector to latch on the
rear hammer notch. This holds the hammer fully to the rear even though the trigger is still to the
rear. This happens when the burst is over and the firing is stopped.
