    The lube needs to be in the right spots too.

    The cam pin and gas key sides seem to be the most important.
    My gas keys don't touch anything, aside from the gas tube, and the charging handle IF I'm pulling on it... How is lubing them going to make the gun run better?

    Sorry to bring this one back to life but my brother-in-law had the same issue with his new rifle when we sighted it in the other weekend. (PSA upper, Rguns BCG, Surplus Arms lower).

    Turned out to have a gritty trigger that didn't want to reset. Makes me wonder if that was my issue years ago with that RRA...

    OP,

    Just out of curiosity, what are you cleaning the firing pin channel with? I.E. q-tip, pipe cleaner, patch, just CLP etc...

    Wipe it clean with a cloth.
