Was the entire build new? When I built my 1st AR I had cycling issues, even with rounds that I now know were on the sun side of hot loads. I just started running it dripping wet for the 1st 200 or so rounds. Now it cycles like a champ with 2grains less powder using the same case, primer and bullets.
I am wondering if it was nice and lubed for those 1st 15 rounds, but then got dirty and dry and started acting up? Maybe do a full clean and lube it up and try again before you change out hardware? Like you said she ran good at 1st..
Maybe try some other ammo, grab a box of Amax to try?
