I purchased an S&H sear gun about a month ago and was able to bring it to the range over the weekend with my dealer who's doing the transfer. I had the gas set on setting one for the first shots, but the gun would short stroke. After switching to setting two, the gun seemed to function better, but the rate of fire was slower than I was expecting. After about 3 mags, the gun started to get stuck cases consistently after about 5-10 rounds. One was so bad that I had to remove the upper and pound the charging handle with a dead blow hammer to get it unstuck (I cringed when I had to do this).
Pretty disappointing first run with the FNC. I know it's probably hard to tell what's going on with the gun without looking at it, but would this possibly be a headspace issue? I'll probably have it sent out to a gunsmith while I'm waiting on the transfer, but I'm not sure who at this point. Is S&H still in business, or do you guys recommend someone else for FNC work? I do have another semi auto FNC as a backup if need be, but I'd rather not use that as a sear host.
Thanks in advance.
Here's a video of some of the issues:
