There are a few pneumatic tests that can help verify unobstructed and clear gas path. Furthermore, I'd inspect the aft edges of the bolt locking surfaces. If there is insufficient gas impulse to fully unlock the bolt there will be signs of battering at the aft edge of the bolt locking surfaces. You need this resolved before throwing more money and parts at it. Think of how it wouold suck to put an ARGold trigger ($279.00 but superb) and a NP3 coated bolt carrier onlt to find out it still does the same thing.
