I recently started shooting it again, started having the same problems. Borrowed some gun oil from another shooter, dripped oil on extractor and other stuff an empty case would touch, and no more malfs. I need to put lots more rounds through it to be sure, though. Dunno what oil I borrowed, he had put it in a teeny cologne bottle. At home I have: Gunslick, Triflow, bike chain lube, 5W-20, ATF, synthetic bearing grease, WD40, I think that's about it for lube choices.

What is the temperature where and when you shoot? Grease is better in warmer climates. If you were having FTE and a few drips of oil in the extractor and those areas, maybe you were simply under or un-lubed all along.
