[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2330406, member: 8377"] The light primer mark is probably a result of the floating pin hitting the primer as the bolt moves into battery after loading the cartridge, as was pointed out earlier. Indeed, it seems your trigger is not resetting, allowing the hammer to follow the BCG forward. Since it is successfully stripping a round from the magazine and chambering it, you dont have a problem with the gas system or ammo. This will be caused by a defective disconnector, weak disco spring, disco spring hole drilled too deep, or a problem with the mating surface on the hammer where the disco is supposed to catch. There are a couple of other considerably more rare possibilities involved, but im betting it will be one of the areas listed. This should be covered under warranty, and i would encourage you to contact the store for guidance on getting it fixed. Fortunately, it should be an easy part swap regardless of the issue. I only recommend the warranty work because i am not familiar with how the company may view your doing the part swaps yourself, and if that would void your warranty. If you decide to do the troubleshooting yourself along with the part swaps let me know if I can help. [/QUOTE]
