Sounds like the location for the magazine catch hole is too low, especially if it does this with all the magazines you have tried, unless you screwed something up with the recoil system to the point that the BCG won't retract far enough to the rear.
What do you mean by a "large recoil spring and shorty buffer like it should have"?

A large pattern spring "heavier" and a dpms style short buffer for using a regular ar15 carbine tube.
The tube is a longer version though by a 1/2" and angled slightly.
The type of modifying I did to the catch itself let the catch go deeper in the receiver. It was cast and I ground down a bit of flashing and whatnot.
It was the button they said needed to be their extended version for the large lower.
I had an extended regular ar15 button and I used a heavier spring.
I probably didn't mean the whole screw em thing. Just didn't see an option for ordering just those pieces and was ornery at the time.
Shift work.
It could well be a bad lower. I didn't think of that.
The type of problem I was having was a bolt over. Bolt catching the cartridge mid case and bending it as it was trying to chamber.
It was doing it with fed 175 gr match as well.
