This AR in question I've never touched besides cleaning. Its always just shot with no issues. I figured it's over 5k rounds. Its a Eagle Arms circa 1993 with a random upper, I think cmmg.
Last time I went out I ran some steel ammo through it and it had a fit with it. FTE, FTF, light primer strikes. The icing was it stove piped a round and cut the day short. I never shoot steel in anything not Russian but that's another topic.
So yesterday with high quality ammo it's doing the same thing. Mostly FTE and light primer strikes and leaving brass residue on the bottom of the ejection port.
I'm thinking new hammer spring and a Vltor buffer/stock setup. The bolt face and extractor looks fine so I'm probably good there.
Anything else i should replace or check? This is my only AR with thousands of rounds so I haven't had to replace anything really.
