[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2255625, member: 7157"] I've tried the standard FCG with a 5.56 upper with no issues, but I was using commercial ammo, not milsurp. However, I had an interesting exchange of emails yesterday afternoon and this morning with an assistant shop manager at Geissele; he told me that the springs in the S3G setup are full power and stronger than a mil-spec spring. He went on to say that the S3G setup is prone to bump-firing and short stroking which can result in light primer strikes, so it's critical to have the stock firmly shouldered, the trigger pulled positively with no feathering, and the pistol grip held tightly. I'll need not to finesse the trigger pull and to experiment with different stances and grips, apparently. However, wouldn't a very strong hammer spring result in a higher likelihood of the hammer following the bolt carrier? [/QUOTE]
