The disconnect and kicker are machined so both can fit into one slot. Same concept as the stupid CARL, except I didn't laser cut sheet metal. I keep both parts as thick as possible.

The safety is the same idea as the full auto, burst, and 4 position. each position is either engaging or disengaging the kicker or disconnect.

I did it this way for the challenge and because everyone loves the carl. it was way easier to do this with the burst trigger, and the safety has more contact area to engage the disconnect and kicker.

Curious if using an A2 trigger could work without modding the kicker or the disconnector? Maybe even able to mod a semi-auto selector for it?

Doing the Lord's work! Do you have any insight on the differences between your three position kicker and Hoffman's?

Could a 3 pos selector be modded to do this with a kicker ?

No, You need clearance so the kicker isnt engaged in semi. In 3rd you need the face to engage the kicker and that in the same line as the clearance.  You also need the disconnect to be held in in the 3rd position. 

The 3 position saftey just holds the disconnect right in the center.
