Clean rifle, well oiled? Springs are cheap, try that first

Clean and well-oiled, will try a new spring and hopefully that will help

bolt catch is the place to start.

Will the bolt release without the magazine in it?

Swap out the spring and report back. |

Mag could be over-inserted, causing the rear lips of the mag to be hit by the bolt as it comes forward slowing it down and keeping it from going home.Loading with the bolt closed would prevent the over inserting so that might help explain it. It's not unheard of. Unlikely, but something to look into.gen3 pmags have a block built into them to prevent over insertion.

Buffer spring could be the culprit.
I'd invest in a Sprinco buffer spring. Even if you just want a standard powered spring, you pretty much don't ever need to worry about replacing Sprinco springs. They just go and go. |
