Saw someone with a new light trigger job at a match have a Glock do that.
But I never followed up on the cause.

Texas BBQ, did you ever resolve the issue? Yes, just got to get out and shoot the last two days and removing the UTG Accurizing Wedges solved the problem in both rifles! Glad this was a cheap lesson learned. I really appreciate all the helpful comments. Take care, BBQ

BBQ That is good news, but now I am sitting here wondering how the accu-wedges were causing doubling. Could be some valuable insight there if someone could figure it out. ???

Up one more time. Anyone have a theory?

You got your answers. Light single stage triggers and ARs don't mix.
Replace them with decent 2-stage triggers, like a LaRue MB2S.

The OP is the only one with direct access to his problems. He chooses to think it was an accuwedge instead of technique with a light trigger.

I have not checked the pull weight, but I estimate it to be less than three pounds. I had issues with it some time back, having made an error in adjusting it. Once adjusted as the instructions say, I had no more trouble with it. I have not tried to make it double---not something I'd employ in use. Loc-Tite is my friend.

The wedges change the mating of the upper and lower, the relationship between the hammer and the rear of the bolt carrier is altered slightly. The original layout of the fire control group and the bolt carrier didn't need no stinkin' wedges.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Swapped in a slightly heavier RRA 2 stage and no more problems. The Geiselle is in my Noveske now and works beautifully. Still a little light, but works perfectly for what I use it for.

Evidently not much!
I incorrectly stated in my original post regarding trigger pull weights. They are 3lbs and 3.5lbs not 3lbs and 2.5lbs.
Hundred rounds through each before the wedges and a hundred or more through each after removing the wedges and NO doubling.
The SS vs 2 stage trigger makes sense to me but I have no experience with 2 stage triggers.
Again, Thanks for all the help.

Sounds as if the slightly altered relationship between the carrier and face of the hammer was not allowing the disconnector to engage the hammer fully. Just my guess.
