I have a PSA pistol upper 10 1/2 in barrel with a muzzle break. I changed the upper. Had a guns smith assemble the build on a PSA receiver.
Usually the first found out of a mag will double feed. I tried several different mags, it failed with all the mags. The double feed occurred with a
Failure to eject. The extractor doe not have a buffer.

Any clues?

I am going to change the buffer and spring, along with the extractor.

The gun Smith assembled the lower for me. I did the upper.  The parts are new.  

I spoke to the FFL / Gunsmith.  I will try a few remedies that he suggested.

Fixed the issue. 100% reliable.
Changed extractor and spring. Change bolt carrier. Also changed the buffer and buffer spring.
Added the “O” ring around the extractor spring.

But what was the issue in the first place?

Was it not extracting/ejecting properly? Sounds more like the case than a double feed.

That’s a lot of parts that shouldn’t have any effect on a double feed.

What weight buffer was in there? What’s in it now?
