Finally got to range today. My new at 308 isn’t cycling. It will eject a round every time but it’s not placing another in. I’m thinking buffer. I tried 2 types of ammo. 2 different mags Made no difference. A couple times it had 2 live rounds hung up. I’m thinking bolt not going back enough. Any thoughts ???

Yep, I'd go with the cleaning first. On mine polishing the area where the bolt rides on the upper and the bolt solved the same problem.
