I had one with the same issues described in the OP. Removed the O-ring from the extractor spring, and no more issues. Nothing wrong with the BCG; the stiffer extractor spring was shaving brass on closing bad enough that a stray sliver of brass would prevent lockup occasionally.

My experience is that a correctly tuned gas system of any length doesn't need an O-ring. That means making sure it's not over-gassed of course.

Lapping the bolt may help, but the key is headspace. A properly headspaced bolt in a good barrel will maximize accuracy.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
