I have an AR chambered for 5.45x39, and I have some milsurp ammo in that caliber. As with much milsurp ammo, the primers seem to require harder strikes before they'll ignite; one out of every ten or fifteen rounds through my AR will experience a light strike but no ignition. Rechambering the round will usually result in ignition. So I figure I might need a stronger hammer spring or a lighter hammer.
Here's the problem. At present, the AR has a Geissele S3G trigger group, which I really like for the light trigger and short reset, so I'd like to keep that if possible. What can I do to alleviate the light strikes without losing the trigger feel?
