Yeah but the hammer could possibly be following the BCG back in and making it appear to be a light primer strike when it's really almost a slamfire if it's short stroking.

I would like specifics from OP. I have seen "light strike" listed probably 10+ times previously on here and other sites, only to find out the person had no idea the AR operates with a free floating firing pin. The bolt closing on the round leaving the slight dimple in the primer, and people saying its a light strike. Not insulting the OP, but I rule nothing out with the amount of home build problems these days.
This is the second scenario. The disconnector would have to be out of spec though for this to happen.
OP, is there a green spring under your disconnector?
I asked earlier if the trigger reset. I assume it is, but no one ever say "trigger pull, click, no bang". It's always I pull the trigger and nothing happens. Being explicit with the click, or breaking down what's happening in the smallest possible steps is a huge help to to internet armorers.
There is another scenario, the rifle is not 100% in battery. Have you tried bumping the forward assist upon the chambering of the next round?
This could be a result of a tight chamber and or and under gassed rifle (mis-aligned gas block)
Below: Fully in battery
Below: Out of battery, will still allow you to pull the trigger.....no bang though...

Yes exactly
Don't feel any binding
Fully in battery
