HI, just wanted to know if anybody experienced the same thing?

I have a standard CQ-A nothing done to it except cosmetic. I use reload and factory ammo in it. About 500 rnds so far.

It's been shooting fine but last weekend once in a while it would shoot 2-3 round in full auto manner, 1 trigger pull.

Thanks for your answer.
 
Check the trigger mechanism for fouling or wear, particularly the hammer notch and hook, the disconnctor hook, and the trigger nose. Also, make sure the inside of the bolt is clean, and that the firing pin can move freely.
Was this with factory or handloaded ammunition?
This isn't true, controlled full auto - the rifle is slip or slamfiring. You want to get to find out what is happening, and correct it - it is not a really safe thing to have happening.

No. This is like a car with a faulty throttle cable. It doesn't mean those cars ram into crowds, just broken ones might. The "full auto" he's talking about isn't controlled, just the action cycling until empty. Dangerous, not useful. I don't understand the fear of full auto, to be honest. Want to miss your target? Try full auto. Want to hit your target? Try aimed fire.

does it only happens with your reloads? because if you dont seat the primers fully this can happen, also some brands of primers are too soft for semiautos and you can get slamfires and bursts this has happened to me before with my AR and Tavor with reloads only.. also strip down your bolt and make sure your firing pin is clean and moving free .. try winchester primers they are very hard close to milspec..
 
...and in case anyone else reads this post in future, the phenomenon being describe is technically called "doubling" it is a malfunction with potentially severe consequences for the operator of the firearm, and bears no resemblance to that other thing that we don't discuss.

Are you cool with that Mr. Smith???
 
As Enefgee mentionned it is doubling, it only fire 2 shots in a row on a single trigger pull.

This happenned with both reload and commercial winchester ammo.

I will replace the original grip screw and give her a good cleaning and take it back to the range for testing.
 
Ar15 cannot slam fire with a stuck firing pin because as soon as it unlocks the firing pin will be pulled away from the bolt, as the entire bgc move rearwards.

Most likely your Chinese disconnector is made of pot metal, or somehow it is stuck and not catching the hammer.
 
What you guys are talking about is primer ignited by firing strike due to the forward inertia. If this is the issue, cleaning the firing pin will make the firing strikes the already out of spec primer harder and ensure even more reliable slam fire. Slam fire with stuck firing pin does not happen with most modern rifles.
