light primer strikes with lighter triggers?

[stavman11]

well after 575 Rounds yesterday only had 1 Light strike during the day....
I tried to Modify the springs I got like You mentioned Plumbago, but the fastenal Springs I got per someones post (cant remember who) where a Little Large in Diameter and didnt seem to fit smooth like the stock one....

So I just cleaned the FP and inside the chamber with a Q-Tip and that was it (I had already trimmed the spring once)


I did a LOT of Mag Dumps with the SlideFire as well as a lot of PLINKING at targets... and Only 1 Issue..

was pretty happy for sure.....

Another prefect day yesterday

After last wed I had a few trigger issues.... checked my Timney and the trigger was loose a bit... re set the set screws and all was dialed

400+ rounds yesterday and not 1 issue of Light Strikes, most full mag dumps but at least 5-25rd plinking also....

so be sure and check yer triggers that they stay tight.....


FYI

Yes I had a few light primer strikes and failures for the trigger to reset while my Timney 3# trigger was installed not to mention my trigger pins walking out a few times. Then I removed the Timney and did the $10 JP reduced hammer springs/ light hammer mod.

I have since put 850 rounds with 40 grain CCI MM RN using my 200 round drum and a couple of 25 round mags. It has been flawless, O function problems.

How did you lengthen the "front/muzzle end of the slot in the firing pin that the roll pin rides in, just a couple thousands of an inch, so that the firing pin protrudes out the back of the bolt just a couple of thousands more"?

Thanks

I pulled the FP from the bolt, and then using a abrasive cutting disk on my Dremel tool, I carefully cut a way a little metal on the FP.

I have been cutting the FP spring down a turn at a time and it has worked just the odd light strike

Sorry to resurrect this... but how many turns did you end up cutting? the 3 that someone recommended above?

Light strikes and Jewell trigger

I had this same issue when I dropped in a Jewell trigger into the rifle a while back. I solved it by putting in a slightly stretched pen spring (You can do a search for Jewell triggers in the forum and the pics will come up from last year). After ~5k more rounds without any FFF issue that was not ammo related I will say that the firing pin spring is ridiculously over rated for the system...
