Dumb question but kinda bugging me. I used to hear a ding noise when dry firing my M1a after the trigger is pulled, like a resonating echo I guess is the best description. Anyways, now I dont hear that noise with that rifle, but I do hear it with my brand new standard M1A. Does this mean the hammer is slower or there could be a potential problem? I just dont get why it doesnt make the noise anymore.

The ringing sound is likely from two things. One is the flash hider. If it doesn't it may have a crack in it. The other is the firing pin. It won't ring if there is a snap cap or spent shell in the chamber. It also may not ring if some crud has accumulated and has damped the movement of the firing pin.
Its a socom 2 with the muzzle brake.
There's your answer my friend. The muzzle brake doens't have the "tuning fork" effect like the flash hider.
