Re: Light Strikes
Ensure the FCG has been correctly installed, specifically the hammer spring.
Two common mistakes are:
o hammer spring is inverted (flipped over) on hammer.
o hammer spring ends are resting on the lower, not the trigger pin. Spring ends should rest in notches on trigger pin.

Good advice, especially about where the hammer spring legs go!

Re: Light Strikes
What weight of trigger/what model trigger package did he buy? Some very light trigger setups often have light hammer springs, which can cause light primer strikes. He may have to either go to a heavier setup or contact Geissele about a fix.
Another possibility is if he's running a lightweight firing pin. I've seen some people who run the really light titanium pins have this issue, particularly if they are running lighter springs.
This is of course after ensuring everything is installed correctly, like ktdls7 stated. Also, take a look at the firing pin and ensure there is no deformation or damage.

Re: Light Strikes
Thanks for the input I'll double check on the hammer spring and have him call Geissele with his specs and see what they say.

Re: Light Strikes
If it's a Geissele trigger the hammer spring is not weak or light.
First make sure the hammer spring is installed correctly (legs over the trigger spring coils).
If your friend took apart the bolt carrier group to clean it's possible when putting back the firing pin he didn't seat it all the way. Then when he put the firing pin retaining pin in it's blocking and keeping the firing pin from going all the way forward.
The Geissele hammer spring is strong enough to bend the firing pin retaining pin. If he assembled everything with the pin holding the firing pin then dry fired a few times it could move the firing pin close enough to hit the primer but not enough to strike it.
Just a suggestion.
