Ah light strikes
I’m guessing trigger
I tested 3 BCGs
Yeah make sure your hammer spring isn't backward, that's the number one cause, and surprisingly easy to mess up.
I bought the rifle off armslist. It was a safe queen and the dude installed an aftermarket trigger.
I’ll take a look at it.
If it's not a backward hammer spring, then it may be a weaker hammer spring to make the trigger pull lighter.
Shit was annoying cause I was going to put 1200 rounds through yesterday.
Thanks fam.
It’s not backwards
Saving that image of the correct and wrong way lol im building one atm
@[CA] SoyBoi 62 gr soft points preferably barrier blind
Do you know what brand the trigger is?
Also green tip is trash, doesn't fragment due to the steel tip. The article will list barrier blind and non barrier blind loads that are tested and good to go.
Green tip is actually awful
Idk why people like it so much
They like it because the military used it. Unfortunately that's like saying you clean your floor with a toothbrush because someone did it in boot camp.
M855 equals good 249 ammo and that’s pretty much it
Isn't green tip better id you wanna go through soft materials and prevent fragmentation
Fragmentation is where 5.56 gets its stopping power
m193 from a 18 or 20 in bbl 👌
Slightly better than green tip
Yes in those barrels it’s good
I’ve seen people suggest running it in their 10.5 and it’s effective up to like 80 yards or something
Typically it's best to run heavier stuff because it has more mass to fragment and they're longer, leading to a better ballistic coefficient and longer effective range. Though for home defense the latter part isn't really an issue
Honestly for home defense, you may want a non barrier blind load as it'll be less likely to put holes in your neighbor's house
Any of yall have tips for carrying an extra rifle on ya but have a large backpaxk on?
Like concealed or just normal carry?
Normal
My issue is having a rifle in hand, and a large backpack, so trying to carry the extra rifle
Also assume wearing plates and pouches
I guess a two point sling with a quick adjuster like the blueforce gear sling. Keep it at the tight setting while slung at your chest, then grab the handle and yank it out when you need to shoulder it
I won't need quick access to it, ill look into it, I have a sling coming in that might work for it
Some backpacks are made to carry a rifle straight up and down on the side of it, but I don't really do anything where I would have my rifle stowed somewhere I can't quickly access
Could it be the buffer?
Huh that's a good budget trigger, shouldn't give you problems. Sometimes it can be a light buffer but it's almost always something else
That doesn't look like an ALG hammer spring though
