Could be the result of a few issues but most of the 'older' problems (with engineering) have been sorted out in the later mil-spec models. But, what can contribute - maintenance of the weapon itself (extreme mistreatment of the upper receiver and/or the bolt and/or the bolt carrier), carbon being built up on the 'face' of the bolt, type of lubricant being used (we use 'dry lubricants' instead of CLP in some environments), improper seating of the magazine and/or 'backing' the rounds in the magazine prior to loading (if you ever see a Soldier banging his magazine against his helmet before loading it, there is a reason for that (except that the whole 'helmet thing' is from the movies and 'backing' is usually completed at the time the magazine are loaded)), and bad ammunition (pretty rare with mil spec 5.56mm these days).
