I've never followed these much but I've had the urge to get one. Cabelas actually has good pricing on these and I have a coupon for 5% off a gun this week.
Should I FO? I was considering a Bren or something too. |

I've gotta say, after getting up close and personal with the ARX-100... I no longer care about an M4 as my 5.56 carbine, I want an ARX. It is a SWEET little gun. I played with the Rx4 Storm back in the day and I was like, "What is this shit?" and I passed on getting a Beretta rifle. The ARX-100 is another story. |

I say think because sometimes my ARX acts up with USGI style mags(you can read what I wrote a page or 2 ago). 100% with Pmags though. Its not as good a trigger as my Larue MBT or a Geissele 2 stage but it is better than factory and most other milspec style triggers. |

The shooting sight trigger is causing light strikes in my ARX. Wolf Gold works 99%+ of the time but I had some Igman ammo that I know has hard primers and I got at least 5 light strikes in every 30rd mag.
Is there a heavier hammer spring available? |

You might want to start a thread about this over at the Beretta Forum... Art might see it over there. I have not had time to install my Shooting Sight trigger yet and I probably wouldn't if this is likely to be an issue. I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue yet though. |

Wolf Gold works 99%+ of the time but I had some Igman ammo that I know has hard primers and I got at least 5 light strikes in every 30rd mag. Is there a heavier hammer spring available? I recall one other person had an issue, but it turned out to be that their bolt was not fully rotating into battery. THe ARX has the firing pin recessed in a slot on the beck of the carrier, so if the bolt is not rotated into the locked position fully, the slot won't line up with the hammer face, and you prevent an out of battery detonation. The hammer springs are the OEM hammer springs, so the hammer has the same energy in it at impact as the original. My first gut feeling is that it is not the hammer springs, but that the hammer is somehow dragging or hitting an edge somewhere - like the slot, or somewhere else. As a first step, I'd recommend getting a blue sharpie and coloring in the hammer - face, sides, everything. Machinists blue is better if you have it, but sharpie ought to work. THen fire it a bunch of times. If you get light strikes, you can examine the hammer with a magnifier, and you will see the blue worn off where there is contact with another surface. You might also color the back of the bolt, around the slot. If for some reason the hammer is off center, so it is hitting the edge of the slot, you'd see that. At the end of the day, we will resolve this, or refund. Art ShootingSight |

Ok so I installed the factory trigger and fired 150 rounds flawless through it.
Shooting Sight I inspected the rear of the bolt and it appears your trigger was barely catching the side of the slot. I can see the bottom left edge is rounded off compared to the other side. I measured the width of both triggers and got .127. Yours has pretty square corners on the face of the hammer where as the beretta has a chamfer on the edges. I believe it may be from what you stated above about the bolt. The most consistent time I had light strikes was with a full mags, which would be putting more tension on the bolt hindering it to line up perfectly with the hammer maybe? |

I guess I will have to wait another 5 days and see. |
