I have a CMC 2-stage in mine. I only have ~500 rounds on it, but I contacted CMC and asked them about what to look for wrt problems. They said most people having problems are seeing the trigger not resetting. There wasn't anything specific to look for as far as wear or anything. It seems they either work in your gun or they don't. They did tell me they are working on a new trigger specifically designed for the AR-9, but did not give a date.
So basically they said if it works with the bolt or combo you have your good?

Ok ... had the day off so went out back to give it a test run. Fired some singles and worked my way up to check for hammer follow, doubles or worse .. no issues at all!! Tested about 100 rounds. Had to wrap it up to work on Honey do list stuff will inspect hammer for any signs of improper wear little later .. MAN I LOVE THIS GUN!! It's a blast to shoot ..

I have just read some stuff about the blow back style of the PCC will beat up some triggers and just curious if the CMC will hold up. I swapped it out this evening and was going to give it a run tomorrow just don't want to tear it up.

I am new to PCC just put together a PSA upper with a New Frontier lower . Took it out last weekend after test firing 20 rounds to see if load was going to function to local steel match and it ran like a top with no issues at all!!! Very happy with the gun other than the trigger . I have an extra CMC 3.5lb flat trigger and was thinking of putting it in and giving it a try. I have read some here and it seems that the Hyperfire 24c seems to be the way to go just don't have the funds to buy one right now .
Anyone running CMC drop in? Any issues ?
Thanks

agreed. there is no chance of a kaboom just because the bullet may seat deeper into the case.
putting the bolt back in and trying to slam it into battery and fire it is the (slightly) more dangerous method. that's more likely to get you a really stuck case (given it's already ripped part of the rim off).
knocking it out with a squib rod is the way to go. as long as you're using a proper sized rod of brass or a polymer (like the arredondo ones) you can pound away as hard as you like.
Ok ... I think I will try putting tension on the rear of the case with my modified screw driver while pulling out and try to tap from the muzzle a little harder . Man I hope this works it's driving me nuts!!!

Why are you so worried about the bullet setting back into the case?
Well I hate to compress the powder for 2 reasons.. One if it compresses to much won't it flare the case out even more ? And second just afraid of kaboom!! I

I like n320 for .40 major and 9mm minor with bayou bullets in both

Update... Tried to very lightly tap out with cleaning rod I mean very lightly so that didn't set bullet back in case .. No luck
Put in freezer for about 6 hours and tried to pull out with a modified screwdriver that I bent the very end of to grab a hold of the rim of the case No luck next thinking of putting bcg back in and see if I can drop it and fire round out. Guess since case lip is ripped out where extractor is if it doesn't go bang can just try again !!! This is really getting very frustrating.

It did tear the case rim ..

You can use a rod from the muzzle end and tap it out. Been there, done that. Nothing to worry about.
Did you have to really beat it out or just a light tap did the trick? No worries about bullet setting back to far and compressing powder ??

I'm not sure the safest way to get the live round out...but i'm wondering what's up with your ammo/rifles? REALLY dirty chamfers? OAL too long and bullet is seating in lands? Case not fully resized? Would incorrect head spacing cause round to not go off?
Sorry I can't offer any real help on this, hopefully someone here can!
Well ... My routine for loading .223 is
resize and deprime
trim
de-burr and clean primer pockets
load
case gauge (and they pass )
BUT I started crimping with a lee fcd on a single stage and wondering if that has something to do with it... BUT the rounds I shot today were pre crimp rounds that I have shit hundreds of out of a stag 3G
chamber should have been clean it was brand new...

Ok so I have shot hundreds of reloaded .223 rounds and just started having problems with the case/ round getting stuck in the chamber. Pull the trigger firing pin drops but doesn't go off so I try to rack out and have to battle ram the thing to get it to eject.
Anyways for some dump reason I try to fire a few out of a new AR and it happens again!!! But this time I get the bcg back but now the live round is jammed in the chamber!!!! Sooooo now what to do???
I thought about taking a cleaning rod and trying to tap it out from the muzzle but that just creeps me out! I was able to get the lower off and bcg out and left it along until I could think of a safe way to try and get it out or hope to get some suggestions here..
Thanks for any advice from anyone who may have had this issue at one time or another.

25 grains of Benchmark under a 55 grain bullet goes great.
+1 on the benchmark I am at 25.6 great load for my setup
-
3.2 grains on a 124 shoots nice, makes minor power factor out of my Edge.
What powder are you using with only 3.2 grains and making minor? What bullet ?
-
You are going to get many different opinions on this subject and it is covered in many other threads. It seems a lot of people are wet tumbling, some use pins some don't . Some deprime the tumble some just tumble then load. some load then clean again in dry media tumblers . Like I said many different ways of doing it .

Miculek .. $50 and works Great if clocked correctly.

What pound spring are you running? So now I am confused. It sounds like HS6 is not the answer. So is it the gun? The spring? or do I need to increase my Bullseye load slightly? Maybe drop down to the 9#? I think I may pick up a box or two of factory ammo to see if that cycles fine. I also noticed that the gun runs fine for about the first 30 rounds, then it starts to happen. Maybe I need different lube? I am using FP10 shooters choice. When it happens, I get out my small bottle of 0W20 synthetic motor oil and put a coulee drops on the rail and it seems to be fine after that.I have ran thousands of rounds through my 1911 and 2011 with 3.2gr of titegroup with a bayou 124g bayou loaded out to 1.160 with no issues at all. Very accurate will not make minor but very soft. I would think if you bumped it up to 3.4-3.6 it would make minor no problem
Factory spring setup in an edge and I believe 10lb spring in 1911

Aggressive undercut grip, clean up the trigger just a bit and run it!! I love my edge runs like a champ!!!

2011 all the way!!! Amscor match .40 from what I have read is a nice peice !

3.2gr at 1.160 is great if you don't need to make pf

Pretty much same as limited USPSA... trigger, magwell, mag extensions (max 140mm) maybe solid guide rod .. Holster can be race holster but most I have seen use Kydex with very good retention... seem to many pistols pop out while running with shotgun or rifle ..
