I have purchased a radical firearms upper and after 3 uppers, we're having problems cycling the rifle on full auto properly. If I use a 11.5+ upper, the rifle works just fine. Once we go down to a 10.5 inch, I'm getting ton of FTFs with it. there appear to be light primer strikes on the primers and the round doesn't go off. Not sure if the sear resets or not.
I have a carbine? (3 oz) buffer in there right now.
ironically, when I use a colt BCG (not theirs, which look dimensionally the same) I get very few to no FTFs. They sent me two BCGs (one of them being nickel boron) and same results... Before they sent me the 3rd upper, they shot 3 mags through it on a HK 416 post ban lower and it shot fine.... Comes to me, and it's fine for the 1st 10-15 rounds, then continous FTFs one after another...
we're thinking it's possibly weak springs in the trigger....
so looking on suggestions on what spring to get to beefen up the hammer. I don't want the weight of the trigger any less than milspec (duty rifle). Just looking to make the hammer hit harder as we think the spring is just getting worn out.
It works fine in semi. only FTFs in full auto...

We think it's the lower, so any suggestions will be appreciated. Only thing it can be is the hammer spring in my opinion. It's just odd that it works fine on a full size upper.
