Pirate - you da man!
When I went thru my FCG, I noticed I was using a trigger that I had previously ground down the rear of from the first grip stick. Too many parts and crap on the bench led me putting it in the new one I guess. In any case, It had enough vertical play the allow the hammer to miss the sear and I had no disconnect function. Ie., the hammer was following the bolt.
I swapped out the triggers last night, got up early and at sunrise ran thru 80+ rounds.
The gun was kicking the hell out of me so I decided to try my new recoil spring, but I was having binding issues and I had to get to work. The one that came with my kit was just plain tired out but it works. I have a few ideas for th new spring....Now its just a matter of some clean-up and making a new bolt with a few mods.
I had no probs with slam fires using both a one piece, spring loaded FP and a new 2 piece (made it at class after I got tired of welding saddles on 4 inch pipe) pin. Both worked great.
I just need to iron out the damn wiggly recoil spring under control and test in 8mm. 308 works great. I was even pretty happy that I was only 10 inches right at 100 yards. Once I centered the front sight, I was right on!
