Skeleton hammer = less inertia, I wonder if that would be

an issue. I have built several AR lowers for 7.62x39 and found I must use a GI style hammer with the longer firing pin to have enough energy to be reliable. I think Federal primers are the"softest" cups, haven't experimented enough to know for sure. I don't like anything too picky of the little things that can jump up when you don't need it to. Murphy's law...
