What problems is your rifle giving you? Plenty of knowledgeable folks here, someone I’m sure can help.

I have a PredatAR Costa Edition with approximately 10k rounds through it- its always been reliable and issue-free. While running the rifle during the course it suffered numerous malfunctions and became so unreliable I was forced to switch to an alternate weapon to complete the class.
Malfunctions I experienced were a few double feeds, but mostly failure to fire (trigger goes click instead of boom; when I inspect the chamber there was no round in it)
I was shooting M855 from PMAGS and USGI.
To attempt troubleshooting, I tried:
-Completely cleaning the weapon.
-I tried other people's mags in my rifle and still experienced malfunction.
-I tried my mags in other people's rifle and had no malfunction.
-I swapped out my BCG and put in a BCG from a different Larue rifle and still had malfunctions.
I would have tried swapping out the Upper completely to isolate where the issue was coming from, but it was pitch black and I didn't want to completely ruin my training experience so I just called it and used a backup rifle afterwards. Appreciate any advice- thanks.
