Even a full auto is more consistant than what this looks like.

I'm following this with interest. I love puzzlers like this.

My first thought was the firing pin must be off-center in its channel due to a missing bushing or some such, but looking at an exploded parts diagram it appears the body of the firing pin fills the channel, so that can't be it...so I've got nothing.

If it's true these guns will fire when out of battery...not cool.

Again, the Croatian kids can only do so much to please us fat lazy Americans.

I took apart the firing pin and slid just it in the hole and there is no movement in it at all. Not even a tiny bit... So I'm guessing it's along the lines of what SS was saying about barrel placement and being in full battery.

[Niceguy]

Everything appears to be lined up and moving freely to me. Going to shoot it this weekend and if still an issue, I'll be contacting Springfield as how to get it taken care of. Ridiculous! It's not even a month and a half old...

[Niceguy]

That is a spent casing by the way...haha

[ssracer]

get some snap caps and hand cycle them and see if you can get it to repeat. Or just go shoot it again and check the lock up after every shot. I can't see how with the force of the recoil it would not go all the way into battery unless it was being limp wristed though

[Niceguy]

I agree, but you would think if it were me it would have been doing it the whole time. And have other cycling issues. It's not had a single feed problem, jam, stovepipe, nothing... Every single strike looks bad. None of them are perfect. I wish I could find a round I knew was from one of the first few times I shot it and it functioned fine and see what they looked like. I used aluminum cased shells and just let them fly in the yard. Not sure exactly where I was standing. Going to shoot it again Sat or Sun. and look around in the yard a little for some of those casings also.

[ssracer]

I'll try to get to the range with mine this weekend and pick up some casings.

I think your firing pin has way too much protrusion.
Do to the primer almost being pierced.
I also would suspect so form of problem with the safety plunger.

It was just the pin in that picture. When the firing pin is assembled with the spring and the cylinder piece that the pin slides into is all assembled it won't push that far through. It goes maybe half that far. I just did that to see the difference. The struck primers don't really look any deeper than they do on my 1911, just a different shape.

Ok Case marked DRT you can see the anvil in a corner of the firing pin depression.
That is a nominal sign of a firing pin with excess protrusion.

I think with the case against breech nominal FPP is .030/.045 "

And the pin coming out farther could account for off center stokes

Along with a out of battery condition
Not good as you well know
SA needs to fix the fix

[Niceguy]

That's my thinking too. They need to fix it. NONE of the strikes look perfect to me.

And you have to ask your self this question: Is this a gun I can trust my life with?

Hell no!

[RecoilSensitive]

you should donate it to me and i will take care of it lol

[ssracer]

I'll give ya $50 cash for it

[Niceguy]

I'll just put it on FB for $800 with the extra mag and a box of ammo... haha

[guncrank1]

7.50 and a bag of fresh house cat scat

[jackalo626]

But will it blend?

[Niceguy]

Got a hold of these guys and they are having me send it back for inspection...

[Niceguy]

Similar to your issue?

Sounds exactly like it...Even happening the same amount. Mine started after 200-300rds though.
