Look at this picture to identify that spring and let us know what you think it might be:
www.kevinholman.com/byor/lower/partsbig.jpg Perhaps this is the disconnector spring, and since the disconnector is not holding the hammer back, you are getting hammer follow which is hanging up on your carrier right at the firing pin shroud area. Do you have a spring in your trigger assembly like shown? And this means you did NOT perform a safety and function check before firing that weapon.....  www.ar15.com/content/guides/assembly/lower/#hammer www.ar15.com/content/guides/functionCheck/ |

Thats not enough. Look at both links. Safety on fire. Finger off trigger. Cock hammer. Hammer should stay back. Pull trigger. Hammer should fall. with trigger still pulled in all the way, cock hammer again. Disconnector should hold hammer back. Release trigger. Trigger should fall a tiny bit, slipping off disconnector, and held in place by trigger. The bold part is what I think might be causing hammer follow. You stated:
Since you say the hammer is not resetting itself.... thats where I think the problem is. Again.... does your trigger have the spring between the trigger and the disconnector installed?  |

 Uhhhh the disconnector. The part that holds the hammer back when the trigger is depressed during firing of the weapon... keeping it from following the carrier and working correctly for semi-auto fire. You have a disconnector? |

There is ONLY ONE disconnector spring, you can see it in the pic above... mounted in the trigger assembly. |

Which again, only confirms you did not complete the safety and function checks before firing that rifle. No problem. Good luck, and stay safe!

Make sure you haven't mixed up the bolt catch spring with the disco spring. The disco spring is tapered while the bolt catch spring is not.
