Experienced Opinions - Short Stroke? Bolt Overrun? BAD?
Shot a carbine match yesterday and this happened to me three times with three different mags. All PMags. Approx. 75rds fired in the match.
Racked the charging handle and the round went into battery.
Short stroke? Mag overrun? BAD Lever on new Noveske lower?
Specs on carbine:
Gen II Noveske lower w/ BAD lever
H buffer
Blue Sprinco spring
14.5" DD midlength
IMI M193 ammo

This only started occurring when I mated the new Noveske lower to the upper. I know...I know...I should have run it more prior to the match. Just didn't see this coming.
My LMT lower with BAD has never had this issue with all things being the same. Buffer, spring, etc.
I'll be pissed if this is a lower / BAD issue and it may very well be.
I intend to take the BAD off and see what happens.
If not the lower/BAD combo, what direction in buffer, spring should I go? Lighter, heavier, combination of the two?
What is the experienced opinion of the house?

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” –Thomas Jefferson, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishment”, 1764
