Second trip to the range with this colt LE6900, first time it fired fine, semi like normal. This time around it’s shooting twice with one trigger pull. It’s not a binary trigger because it bursts before I let the trigger go, anyone know what could be causing this?

First you shouldn’t have posted it to Reddit.
Usuallystraight69420@reddit
Why?
SigSeikoSpyderco@reddit
Conspiracy theories about the government
Machete_Hands_Dan@reddit
No conspiracy about the government is a theory. They are tyrannical satan worshipping pedos.
SigSeikoSpyderco@reddit
According to conspiracy theories.

Did Jeffery Epstein not exist?
SigSeikoSpyderco@reddit
You're wondering if Jeffrey Epstein existed?
Yes. Yes he did.
Machete_Hands_Dan@reddit
They only say that to dissuade people from the fact it’s true.

Who is "they"? The Jews?

ATF inbound. Hide your dog.

The amount of absolute noob questions in these two days is too damn high. Google it first next time.

Has anyone considered that this guy is shooting it one-handed and possibly bump-firing by accident with poor recoil control?
Curmudgeonly_Old_Guy@reddit
These are actually in reverse order of what I would do, but in direct order of likelihood of fixing the problem (unless you're trolling us with pix of bump firing).

Reassembling an AR with springs in the wrong place in the lower can cause this to happen. You should know that it is also very much illegal to continue shooting this like this now that you know it has a problem. People have been charged and convicted of manufacturing the machine gun by doing so
What-is-a-do-loop@reddit
Trigger spring may be in backwards. Did you take it out to clean it or have to install it in this gun?
vaber82@reddit
Had the same thing happen to me, this was the cause.
Kromulent@reddit
1) Stop shooting it.
2) Take it to a gunsmith.
FarOpportunity-1776@reddit
Good amount of trigger issues don't really need a gunsmith just a good inspection.
Kromulent@reddit
OP seems pretty green and a malfunctioning trigger is a bad thing. I think a gunsmith is a good call here.
If he knew enough to be safely inspecting a trigger he'd know.
phillthy_god@reddit
I bought a 6.5 grendel from a dude then traded the upper for a beowulf and then basically the same thing happened to me.
Kromulent@reddit
I'm not super familiar with the trigger mechanism but doubling implies that it might also fire if dropped or bumped. It also might be just a little bit of wear, and a little extra dirt away from going full yee-hah at an unexpected time.
--_-__-___---_@reddit
that definitely belonged to a boomer going off the fact its a colt and has a tube handguard. im willing to bet its a diy binary trigger which was a common modification before actual binaries were released. it doesnt let you select between binary and semi so just swap out the trigger group to a larue or something if you want normal function.
Infinite-Pressure174@reddit (OP)
That would actually make sense, the guy said he doesn’t believe in red dots or Tupperware LMAO

You just aren't using enough shrink wrap!

ilikerelish@reddit
My money is on a faulty disconnector, or disconnector spring that is occasionally letting the hammer go before the trigger is released and the sear catches.
The_hammer_69420@reddit
Probably a poorly ground sear ledge or not finished properly. Drop in a Geissele ssp you’ll thank me later.

Step one is to rehome your dogs for a bit.
KEBobliek@reddit
Take this post down before the ATF sees this... In the ATF's eyes that's an unregistered machine gun for some restarted reason
zero_fox_given1978@reddit
From what I can see it looks like your trigger has a couple of different functions depending on how far it's depressed.
Billybob_Bojangles2@reddit
When you fire, keep your trigger pulled and don't let go. If it still fires more than one round then you can rule out bump firing and just replace the fire control group.
Elijah_Man@reddit
And get rid of the upgrade?
FarOpportunity-1776@reddit
Look up how to do a functions check and follow those steps
Stoggie-Monster@reddit
First of all, lower your voice…
sootfactory335d@reddit
If you bought the rifle used then it seems it has a binary trigger installed "fucking score"....if you take some pics of the trigger group many here would be able to tell if it's indeed such trigger..... if it's a factory trigger then something is fucky and you may want to order a quality trigger kit lol.
ardesofmiche@reddit
What trigger is installed in the rifle? It’s possible the disconnecter is out of spec, or the trigger is light enough you’re actually bump firing it
Infinite-Pressure174@reddit (OP)
It is the original stock trigger for this rifle, that may be it but I can’t check now, I’m at work
