Abstract
A fire control assembly (400) is provided with increased safety features. A set porch (470) is formed on a disconnect (404) to hold a firing window (416) of the disconnect (404) out of contact with a sear pin (412). A pin (458) engages a safety surface (460) on the disconnect (404) to hold the disconnect (404) in a direction (494) until the firing window (416) passes under the sear pin (412) and the sear pin (412) engages the set porch (470). Once the sear pin (412) is on the set porch (470), the trigger (402) must be pulled to engage the sear pin (412) with the firing window (416).
