So.... the next time I’m at that end of my house, I’ll get them all out and check.This problem is due to a "stack up" of differing tolerances from different parts. While it could potentially be an issue in any AR-15 build comprised of parts from different makers it's only been identified in issue arms.
Adding this check to the function check is prudent and takes seconds to accomplish.
...Move the selector lever to the SEMI position then move the selector to a position between SEMI and AUTO (BURST for non M4A1’s) and squeeze the trigger. The hammer should drop when trigger is squeezed. If the hammer drops, repeat by slightly repositioning selector between SEMI and AUTO (or BURST). If the hammer does not drop when the trigger is squeezed, this is a failure. Record this information and continue to the next step.
