Help

One issue im having if some folks could maybe help me out is, after I fire a round or 2 it seems like the hammer seizes or doesn't fall into the "cocked" position. Sometimes if I pull the charging handle back halfway it will engage or if i wiggle the safety a bit. Any ideas? I have tested the trigger and hammer without the upper and it seems to engage just fine everytime! Its so frustrating! One thing I did just notice is when i press the hammer down into position while engaging the trigger the "disconnector" on the trigger assembly will snag the hammer until i release the trigger... not sure if that is the issue. I can take pics of the innards if that helps! Thanks!

thanks! the M&P is awesome, i side lined my USP and started carrying it.. so far just a great all around weapon. As for the MOE handguard i like it so far... im using it until i throw a YHM Spectre length diamond rail on

Can you take a clear picture down into FCG - trigger spring in backwards? ( is it pointing opposite direction of hammer spring?)

nice looking rifle. I like the lower too.. Did you get that when spikes was having the half-off sale on those lowers? I almost got one but was too crunched for the funds at that time.

Diconnector spring in upside down? Taper not @ bottom?  Not the right spring?(did you switch W/ bolt catch spring?)

i put mine in upside down and it was quite a bit of work trying to get it in, then i figured out there was such a thing as right side up with that spring and its been jelly beans.

can't wait til i do my second build and actually know what i'm doing.

Awesome build! Kinda off topic slightly, but who made those punches? They look like nice, well built tools.

May wanna check your spelling on the word in red. As for the MOE stock, I have one, it's nice if you're into aftermarket stocks and fits tight on a milspec tube. I'm sure the people who dislike it most are the whiny douchenozzles who cry about their stock having some play in it.
