problems with Fire Control Group

[NYY]

even after ordering my new BCG (Del-Ton)... using 55 grain FMJ PMC ammo .223, only about 6/20 fired. Same thing happened with my older BCG. Is it my FCG (about 12-16 yrs old) that is the problem? Not hitting the firing pin hard enough? I was thinking that... UNTIL i put in remington UMC 55 grain FMJ for .223 and had only 3 FTF out of 40... SO CONFUSED. please help!

My brother had the same exact problem, it was his firing pin hitting too soft. It would leave a small indentation, but it wouldn't hit hard enough to ignite the round's primer.

You had problems with both ammos............it's the gun, and your thread title is misleading.

[Steve G]

PMC is good to go. Somethings wrong with your gun.

[WDE91]

I cant diagnose the guns issues but
with my AR15 PMC has always gone bang and launched lead

[missiontrails]

FOR SURE NOT the ammo. Not hitting a primer hard enough is not a symptom of ammo issues.

[Noobert]

A proper AR should have 0/40 FTFs. Get it checked out

[damndave]

Have you tried changing the firing pin? Quite possibly the firing pin or springs if you are getting light primer strikes.

Got any pics of the primer on the ammo?

[salazar44]

I agree... thread title should be changed.

[VictorFranko]

I have used a lot of PMC .223, 9mm and 40 S&W, never a problem.

[cfm117]

Even 3/40 FTF is no bueno. Get rifle checked.

[evidens83]

Definitely not the ammo. Did you lube like we told you or did you leave it dry and tight...

[prerunners4life]

Its the ammo, I will take it



Hahaha

Just because most people havent had a problem with PMC doesnt rule out the ammo.

Try the ammo in another gun and see what happens.

It can be a bad batch of primers.
I switched out a striker assembly in my pistol and the ammo still had light strikes.

According to ammo seller, it was a bad batch and is currently replacing the ammo for me.
