2 questions
#1 I have a New,  New frontier Lower with an upper I have yet to determine. All new it may have been what comes with New frontier if you buy the whole thing. It is .223 5.56 and I have a buffer of 2.67 and 3.02 oz I have cleaned everything except taking the barrel off and cleaning and scraping carbine where the bolts seats. I am having problems with the casing getting stuck in different ways in the chamber and usually happens between 3 to 5 rounds some ammo is better than others 223 go longer before jamming. I have tried American eagle 556 tula 223 perfecta 223 wolf  556 223 zq1 556 all different results each time nothing ever the same. When the case ejects most of the time it ejects more 1:30 TO 2:30 SOMETIMES 3:30 TO 4:30

#2 Problem  I know you get what you pay for on ammo but I am getting way to many misfires and its all the brands above as many as 7 in a row. I check the ammo and see that some of the caps are seated deeper in on the casing but I am having issues with all of them. I see a slight indent on the cap on the misfires and deep indents other times. I have tried to refire some of the shells to see if its ammo or gun and some fires on second round some does not. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Again thanks for the tips tried everything and still nothing so I found a gunsmith and after talking to him a bit he said bring it by I'll look at it so I did and he didnt charge me he tore it all apart and found a slight bit of carbon he said nothing major and that  the gun is sound and mechanically has no reason it should not be firing correctly and suggested 2 different things that might be it either the buffer or it may just need a new bolt but both I have are in good condition. So I decided to trade it to him and go witha brand new smith and wesson.
