    Ar 15 question. . help please

    What would cause my firing pin to not strike hard enough? I had 3 back to back failure to fires and the bolt was forward all the way. It is a Dennys super duty bcg and I am firing brass cased ammo. I had more FTF during the day but the three back to back and was finished

      Reloads? Often the primer is not seated all the way, cushioning the hit.

      Make sure the tip of the firing pin is not damaged.

      Hammer spring not inserted correctly. Both legs MUST be on top of the trigger pin.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

          Probably what Army said about the spring legs. Check that first as it is quite
          common sadly.
