    I get that, and that is ONE option.
    My question, however is not about technique, but rather about the mechanics of an AR.
    How do I speed up the travel forward of my bolt carrier?

    The one i road tested was using a stock BCG and the buffer spring from FA

    Does anyone have any experience with the fostech echo? They claim to have eliminated the hammer follow issue.

    I wonder if the difference between a full auto and semi BCG makes the issue any better or worse. Pretty sure the upper I use it with has a semi BCG.

    What was the issue you ran into with the included hammer?

    It would get caught by the disconnector (running in semi only) in binary mode.
    I contacted them and they told me that my DPMS lower may be slightly out of spec and to try a different hammer.
    it fixed the issue.

    Light weight BCG from AIM fixed the hammer follow problem.
    Now all I need is an unlimited supply of low cost .223 so that I can train my own finger.
    Mag dumps were achieved today (6 of them in rapid succession) with no issues other than keeping the speed steady, but no for fault of the gun .
