Case resolved for now. Hopefully Pesto will be able to put his thinking cap on to come up with a resolution to the potential of a semi-lockup occurrence that can be done easily in the field.
As it stands now, if the semi-lock occurs, I will have to open up the battery compartment and temporarily unplug the MERF and plug the battery into the motor directly. This isn't ideal given the PITA factor involved with the 6 small hex screws and the potential occurrence of this scenario in the midst of a firefight.  |
I had a similar think process when I started building my SR25...
Best "solution" I found was to install a small switch that jumps the trigger contacts somewhere hard to access with a mag on (in my case, it was inside the magwell, beside the mag catch.
If you can't access it with a mag in, they should let you have this as a safeguard.
Leave the GATE in Safe-Semi-Auto mode, so this works.
