Hey all, I'm having a pesky slamfire issue in my AR15 and I can't seem to get around it. Every round that gets loaded in to the chamber has a light primer strike mark from the firing pin. I thought this might be a cleaning issue, so I stripped the BCG apart and cleaned all the components before assembling it all back together. The firing pin marks are still there, and the occasional slamfires continue just a few rounds in. It doesn't happen every round, but it has been repeating with multiple brands of ammo. Any suggestions? There has to be a good systematic way to tackle this - I just don't know what it is.

My "moving parts" gear list is below
White Oak upper, .223 Wylde
FailZero BCG
JP Enterprises captured spring buffer (rifle length)
Elftmann Tactical match trigger
