| Witch set up would give me the fastest lock up, I was thinking of a light BCG and a heavy buffer to eliminate slam fire when the hammer follows the bolt doing rapid fire |

If you want to move to stiffer springs in combination with less mass in the buffer and bcg, you'll get a faster cycling of the action. |

If you are having slam fire issues you have an unsafe gun period. Hammer does not follow the bolt this would or could cause out of battery fire leading the catastrophic failure of the rifle. Adding lighter or heavier anything will not fix this.
Bolt locks before the hammer falls. |

If you are having issues with slam fires, I agree with the consensus above.
Check your disconnector to make sure it can move freely, check for wear (around the hook in particular), make sure the spring is installed, and make sure the spring isn't installed upside down. |

Remember, the firing pin can not make contact with the primer without the bolt being almost 100% in battery. If the hammer did follow the carrier (bad disconnector) and had enough energy to make contact with the firing pin and ignite the primer, the gun would just go bang with no consequences. No kaboom, just bang.
If you gun is capable of firing out of battery then you got some real quality problems. |

No AR that is in spec will have the hammer follow the BCG. If it does, your rifle is unsafe and should be repaired. Agreed... Op, I don't think your wishing to have a slam fire in the hope of obtaining a half assed full auto rifle, but... if you are, wishing for this to happen, its simply not going to. Full auto is overrated, cool, but overrated. But I'm sure you already know that... Enjoy your rifle. |

Well my friend bought this Tac-Con trigger system (so as I) this trigger system will push the trigger forward as the bcg moves back, my friend is extremely fast with his trigger finger so he maybe able to pull the trigger before the hammer get caught going forward may be a problem
So I was thinking how can we speed up the bcg going forward |

If you completely remove your disconnector you will wind up with a single-shot rifle, because the hammer following the bolt carrier home will NOT have enough energy to ignite the primer, and you'll wind up with the hammer down on an unfired round, every time. |
