Hey all. I was shooting my CMMG uppered 9mm AR and broke a hammer pin. I didnt even notice! Found it when I broke the rifle down. I wasnt even shooting hot loads! I think 9mm AR's are famous for this. BTW it is a DPMS LPK. Heard they are junk.
Here is the setup.
Standard lower with DPMS un-notched hammer
CMMG ramped bolt
Heavy wolf buffer spring
STX 9 Spikes long heavy buffer
Just curious if there is anything certain i should look for that would cause this? I already have KNS pins on order.
I have also heard that that hammer tail being to long could cause this. I definatley feel more friction when when the hammer is installed. Would it hurt to mill 4 or 5 mm off the hammer tail to be sure it is not causing it?
Thanks in advance.
