will leave a tiny dimple on a MILITARY round's primer after chambering. Like the M1 but much more subtle; I probably would never have seen it had I not been curious and checked closely. I don't worry about slamfires.
I was getting the dimple in my primers on my Bushmaster M4 so I bought into the Titanium Firing pin at about a hundred bucks.
It helped some, but not that much. Then I got a brick of the CCI 41 (white box) primers for 5.56 that are supposed to be a heavier metal. That helped a little, but it still happens.
I give up!
A side note here, one thing that was really worth the expense is the Timney drop-in complete trigger assembly. You can get a 4# or a 3#. http://mooneysfirearms.com/
I got the 3# and it's great! I ran all the necessary checks to ensure I don't have accidental firing and all the tests I did were flawless!
If I ever decide to target shoot official in competition, will this Timney trigger be OK, or does the gun need to be completely stock for competition (I'm thinking open sights as I have QD Leupold scope rings)?
To Shooter762, Yes the Federal brass I have found to be undesirable for repeated loadings,the primer pockets get 'big' .Winchester can take many reloads. If I do load Federal its for hunting or plinking and the brass stays where it falls.
I got 500 Lake City Nato brass (little round circle with a + in it), new and some primer pockets were a bit loose on the FIRST LOADING! Is this the same Federal Brass you are referring to?
