It looks like my finger is faster than the bolt coming home (yeah , I have a fast finger, I have been told that before...[Coffee]).
If I understand correctly. there are a few ways to address this, lightweight carrier, enlarging the gas port with an adjustable gas block etc.
I would think that for my specific needs I need to increase the carrier return movement, rather than its backward movement.
Therefore, trying increasingly stiffer buffer springs would be the first step.
If that does not prove solve the issue, it would probably get to a point where the spring is so stiff is actually slowing things down, give fte and eventually require the gas port/adj gas block treatment.
Any suggestion as to what springs to use ? Is there anything like a "tuning spring kit"? I am already using the extra power one provided with the kit.
