53. Inspection and Repair. Inspect and repair the fire control mechanism as follows:
a. Inspect all trigger mechanism components for cracks, corrosion, and damage that would
effect mechanism function;
b. Ensure that the three hammer bent surfaces of the trigger, disconnector, and automatic
sear are sharp, well defined and that the original contours have not been altered;
The trigger assembly for the carbine is assembled with a different disconnector spring
than the rifle. The spring used for the carbine semi disconnect is colour coded red or black
for identification. The springs for the rifle semi disconnect and all burst disconnects are
the same.
