No expert, but disconnecter and disconnecter spring is my guess.

I should add the lower is a brand new RRA that I've shot about 60 rounds through

A notorious problem with the Oly uppers.

Try replacing the spring inside the firing pin.  Better yet, pull it out and stretch it out a bit.  

If that doesnt do it, you may need a heavier buffer

Problems still? try it on a different lower, it very well MAY be the disconnector spring but with only 60 some rounds in a brand new lpk its unlikely

PS I can accept paypal for all gambling debts

Take a look at the firing pin is it sticking out(stuck)? I had this happen on my OLY. At 1st I thought it was something in my lower so I swapped lowers. Went back to the range and it happened again. I just threw the whole bolt asm into a small plastic tub with hoppes, cleaned it and the firing pin. Then reoiled. No more doubles or triples after that.
