    If you narrowed it down to the BCG then you need to get it closer. I would look at the firing pin (firing pin protrusion) and the bolt.

    It is also possible that the carrier itself is out of spec. I would replace one piece at a time in the new carrier and narrow it down further.

    Already told that they will fix the issue. But I am here to find out what can cause this and what to look for in a bad bolt or whatever issue this may be.
    Unaware of the make.

    Only know that it is carpenter 158
    "properly" Staked, M inspected ect.

    I can upload pictures if need be.
    Please advise.

    Thank you,

    those questions are relevant. What make is the carrier? Knowing the brand could help finding your issue. You never asked the make of your BCG? Take IGs advice

    What are the specs of the rifle & it's parts? Is it a factory model?

    For whatever reason, your BCG is giving light strikes. There is a possibility that the carrier and/or firing pin is incompatible with the hammer. What causes the incompatibility I cannot recall as it's the tail end of a long day and my brain is mush.

    The dented cases mouths are normal and they can be reloaded. The mouths will be rounded out in the re-sizing die

    I will get the name of the make tomorrow as well as upload some more pictures tomorrow. It is getting late.

    I trust the company that I purchased it from (that they wouldnt sell me crap.. lol) , I have done a lot of business with them and gotten them lots of business. They have already said they'll fix the problem and I know they will. Like I said.. using this thread as future reference in bcg endeavours. I'll have more information on the go tomorrow.

    Thank you all for the insight I really appreciate it!

    Check the hammer spring to make sure it was not installed backwards.

    I'm unable to check that at the moment but are there any ways to tell that it might have been installed backwards?
