QS,
If you look at the bottom of the FA BCG when used with a SA notched hammer you will see the bottom of the BCG is beat to hell.
While not a deal breaker, I worry about that energy being transfered into the hammer pin and spring.

Solution use a M16 carrier - and a M16 hammer, or if you want to run a asemi-auto hammer -- don't use a cut Colt one.
regarding Mk262
From my understanding the .mil is taking ALL the BH Mk262 they can make. The ammo we got via DOS - is marked "Mk262 Mod1 spec" -- and is 50rds white box - as opposed to the 20rds brown box mil stuff.
Everything else is seconds.
Regarding HSM ammo -- its NOT NATO spec -- I tested several lots of their 77gr loads and it was all 100-225fps slower than the Mk262.

For AR15 use DPMS makes a non-notched hammer, which is why I like their LPKs. Essentially they are just M16A2/A4 hammers with the sear tail ground off. You can tell this because the disconnector notch on the hammer is very wide for the dual disconnectors of the 3 round burst.

Hm. I examined both of the ones I have, and I don't see it occurring on either of mine. One of them has a slightly beat-up notch on the hammer, but I believe that to be from the original cutaway carrier. Still, your point is well taken, and I think next time I get a chance to pick up a couple of Colt M16 hammers, I'll put them on the mill and make 'em large pin so as to eliminate the issue entirely.
