Ok Skinny let me through this one by you because I had it happen on my milspec. If you have a peened on front sight (not dovetailed) sometimes there can be too much peened material sticking through the bottom and pushing onto the barrel bushing. This can cause all kinds of odd fail to feed fail to eject issues because then the bushing rubs the barrel. In the case of many milspecs the barrel itself is not always perfectly machined so if you have a high spot, and the barrel bushing is in a bind due to peened material then you get issues. Also if the bushing and or barrel are parkerized you might be having the same rubbing issue if the parkerizing is thick in some places (had this on my feed ramp actually)

That's my only suggestion off the top of my head.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
