Hey Brian,

I've shimmed the KM valves on my MEU mags and they don't seem to fire when I use the thicker shim instead of the smaller shim.

The hammer still falls but nothing else happens. I'm guessing that the hammer isn't hitting the km flow valve when it's shimmed, and when I filled the mag with gas the valve strike face is almost the same height as the back of the mag itself..so I dunno what's happening there.

I've got a 150% guarder hammer spring, so I know its not because the hammer isn't strong enough to open the valve.

I've currently shimmed the valve with the thinner shim and it's working perfectly...but if there's a fix to get the hammer to hit a higher-shimmed valve I'd like to hear about it.

btw, I'm using the stock plastic MEU lower receiver if the internal dimension of the grip has anything to do with it.

Thanks in advance!
