"Ran Federal XM, AE, PMC Bronze/XTAC, Rem UMC, Hornady Frontier, whatever i had kicking around. Ran all of it flawlessly, up until 100 or so, upon which my hammer pin walked itself out. shuffled it back in, but it kept trying to pop out, had to re-centre it every 10 rounds or so. Seems I'll need some anti-walk pins, as trigger all seems assembled correctly. Does anyone know if standard AR anti-walk pins work?"
I had my hammer pin walk out, the J hook on the hammer was missing. BCL sent me a new hammer with the Jhook installed. Worked like a charm, no more pin walk!

I also had the hammer pin walk-out problem, same issue, j hook missing. Had a new hammer from BCL a few days later. What a weird problem to be more than a one-off..
i have about 1000rds through my blk one.
absolutely loves 75gr, getting 1inch at 75yards with reddot.
i had the firing pin locking pin back out and return buffer spring Cclip
break.
BCl replaced both, got parts shipped across country in a couple days.
overall very happy with rifle and the service.
I certainly hope it can't. Best case, this is a design flaw in the BCL that can give you a dead trigger (this is the first firearm I've ever handled that can physically do this, it's laughable that something from the early 1900s doesn't have this problem and yet something new does, that costs 1800$ to boot), at worst, it will cause the firearm to detonate and injure or kill the user. I've submitted a complaint to them and they said they'll get back to me Monday. Will update the thread when they do. Incredibly disappointed
ha! have you handled a firearm made since the early 1900's? an ar trigger is an ar trigger - take a look at one. only point of contact between the trigger group and the bolt/carrier is the hammer. bolt carrier knocks hammer back to cocked position (held by disconnector until you release trigger at which point disconnector hands over to sear). trigger can be pulled at any time once sear engaged, even if out of battery. what keeps it from detonating out of battery is, as noted by barsik, the geometry - hammer can't contact the firing pin until in battery. standard stuff - used by slam fire open bolt guns for a hundred years.
EDIT to add that firing pin can't reach the primer until bolt has rotated into battery.

Any AR I've handled couldn't drop the hammer without the bolt closed
I've just tried this with every Semiauto I've been able to get my hands on over the last couple days which include but isnt limited to HK g36, B&T APCs, Siberians , MCRs, ACRs, ATMS , a HK630 , SL7 , a couple Valmets a SG540, and various SKS' and they all can drop the hammer while being out of battery by about a quarter to half an inch. Huh.
That said we had empty casings with only primers in and no primers were popped but still. interesting .

But yeah no I dont blame you for being skeptical about it at all. Like I mentioned Ive never noticed this before with any semiauto I've handled and just went off testing my and my buds to see and yeah apparently this is just normal .

that's why forward assist on an ar15 isn't of that much use. unless you are dropping the bolt on a loaded mag, you typically find out that you are out of battery when you pull trigger and all you get is a click. manual of arms is to cycle action, as just slamming it into battery won't re-#### the trigger. dead trigger on a modern semi is due to trigger not resetting due to short stroking. again, cycle the action. and clean the gun.
primer won't detonate if out of battery for the reasons listed above, unless something wrong with the firing pin.

He sure hit a nerve and threw everybody off and no postings topic wise anymore, lol.
