I ran 1000rds through my Oracle at Christmas without one stoppage... as Jonwill suggests, break it down and clean/lube it, and look for broken parts.

ARs need to be run wet. Have you oiled the bolt carrier lately?
Also, most AR malfunctions can be traced to bent or damaged magazine feed lips. Try a couple new Magpul PMAGs, they are cheap enough, and very reliable.

Never had a problem with mine except when using USGI mags. Pretty sure it was bad feed lips. Runs great with Pmags.

This. Also, lube the BCG with white lithium grease. I found AR-10's are often less forgiving than AR15's when it comes to lube. Also check your gas block.

Further, the 'miss fire' suggests it's not fully into battery, or the firing pin is gummed up.

Until the OP reposts and clarifies, I'm calling drive-by.

I have the dpms sportical and hasn't had a malfunction yet. When was the last time you cleaned it? Seems it may be dirty and bcg dry. Pull the bcg, take it apart and give it a good cleaning. After that, oil the bcg down pretty good and give it another go. Whatever you do, do not use wd-40, plain ol synthetic 10w30 works just as good, if not better, as most dedicated gun oils. Me, I personally use lucas extreme heavy duty gun oil. It stays put and offers great lube.

The smell and nostalgia of CLP burning off and flinging everywhere shall not be denied!
