Has anybody ever heard of a company by the name of CMMG? That makes AR parts? Are they any good?

I've read good reviews of their rifles and the specs on their stuff is excellent.  If you were looking for something affordable and high quality, I think they would be a good choice.

My brother has one that was given to him. He was told he could have it if he could fix it. We had never heard of the company, and was courious as to if it would be worth spending the money on to get fixed. The guy he got it from bought it, shot two rounds, and on the third it would not fire. It is striking the round just enough to make a dent in the primer, but the round is not going off. We took it a part and found the spring to be bent. Would that cause it to misfire? They were useing factory ammo.

which spring is it?  the hammerspring?  maybe, but i kinda doubt it.  i would look inside the bolt carrier, sounds to me like there is an obstruction to the firing pin.  make sure it is assembled right, and that it is clean.

Doesn't sound like a big deal.  I'd bet a problem with the firing pin and that is easily fixed.

It was the little spring in the stock. Is that the hammer spring? My cousin's husband is in the military and he was able to fix it. Thanks for the help.

The spring that was messed up and bent was a small spring almost like what you would find on a pen. To make it work. About an inch or two long or so, and fits in by a pin in the stock.

in the pistol grip??? the spring that puts pressure on the safety?  that is the only small spring i can think of that is near the stock, but it is under the pistol grip, which is different from the stock.  i suppose it matters not, as long as you are up and running it is all good.
