Since I was doing a test fire and actually attempting to zero the irons, I was practicing what I consider to be strict fundamentals. Also light triggers are no shocker as my working bolt rifle runs @ 2.5lbs and my other SPR's are in the 3-4# range. Once I had issues, I actually tried several trigger pull types from holding to the rear and even slapping, err flip and pressing it. Couldn't come up with a pattern as to why the doubles happened. I actually tried to intentionally "bump fire" the rifle with everything from sloppy body positions and poor trigger pulls and couldn't get it to double at those times. I let another highly trained partner fire the weapon and he got a triple out of it as I watched very closely. I got his triple on video but I couldn't see a pattern in his shooting either. Fired a total of 60 rounds out of the rifle (168gr FGMM). I also have quite a bit of time behind another N6 with a Geissele DMR trigger and several SR25's with various triggers. I actually wanted the S3G as it does have more of a single stage pull to it.
Will look more closely but upon cursory visual everything is installed correct. Will do some more checks and probably do some spring swaps and shoot it again. If the issues continue I am going to put it in a 5.56 and shoot it again in stock configuration and maybe with a heavier spring depending on what happens. As of right now I would not be able to deploy this rifle in a critical use role. On a side note, the rifle produced amazing accuracy with irons only. Just waiting on the darn mount for the scope.
