    Double shots are usually related to a bit of wear at the tip of the sear and/or at the lip of the bolt. An other area that could cause that issue is a timing issue at the on-off pin. Is it a stock on-off assembly? It obviously seals when the trigger is held, but look at the top of the on-off pin for scratches that could prevent the leading edge from sealing at the point of first contact. Also, try flipping the top white teflon oring over and see if that helps.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      Or it could be too Loss... I have a lvl 10 and yes I know its different but I was only doing the field strip screw "finger tight" and my bolt would take a long time to reset. I tighten the field strip screw about 1/4-1/2 turn and bolt returned much better.

        hrm....I did check both sear and bolt for any wear but I can't detect any [that doesn't mean there isn't any...I just can't see any].

        I believe it is a stock on/off.

        I don't understand what you mean about a scratched pin...?

        The ORings are BRAND brand new. Should flipping them make that much a difference?

        Kcomb...my thumb and other frame screw are a "little" more than finger tight.

          The on-off pin will only seal if it has a smooth finish. If there is a blemish on the top edge of the pin, then it has to be pushed farther up into the oring before it seal properly.

          Flipping the oring will only help if the oring sealing edge is not perfectly in the center. Sometimes this happens with lower grade orings but very rarely with brand new good quality orings.

              lulz mechanic...

              OK...I had it apart and the on/off pin is in pristine/silky smooth finish. No dents, dings or otherwise misshapen in any manner. It was a bit dry [lack of oil] so I oiled it.

              The sear also appears to be in pristine shape. The entire sear is still covered in that 'gold-ish' finish so I don't think "wear" is the issue.

              I don't get it. Oh well...I guess I'll have to live with it this way...
