we L85 not cycling

Ok. So I have check all of the above issues and still nothing...
Springs seem to be in the correct position (I don't have a working one to compare it to)
The roller is working nicely.

One thing I did notice is that I can put a mag in the lower receiver, and fire it with only a quick pft. I expected it to vent the hole mag. I re-disassembled the trigger group and the spring that pushes the hammer forward appears to be ok and not bent or broken.

What about firing pin? Specifically the part that push the release valve? I know WE uses craptastic material which can wear off -this may result in non-fully depression of the release valve (firing pin lever). I've personally seen this happen with RA-Tech steel firing pin (they sell a replacement firing pin 'lever'

as you cock the hammer does the firing pin stay forward in the magwell and then snap back? or does it go backwards immediatley as you draw back the hammer? sounds like a broke delayer/locker to me

firing pin was replaced with a new one, still no change.

As I cock it there is a delay before the firing pin retracts. (the delayer is not broken I just replaced the broken one)

Sounds like the issue I had trying to fit my CNC'd lower to my trigger pack on an AR-15 type GBBR. The pin was too long as the lower was extremely tight, and it was getting caught above the valve pin instead of behind it, even retracted. Essentially I would get vents, or light strikes. I had to solve it by slowly filing down the firing pin until it wouldn't bind on the valve pin, but behind it as it should.

I had a similar problem with my WE G36K. I checked every where until my gun doc noticed my barrell was woobly a bit. I ve got to thighten it back, and it went back to normal.
I hope that could help. we never know

That sounds like a knocker pin or carrier indeed.
Also source and try new hammer springs. I had to swap mine after a year or so, I was getting light strikes.
As mentioned, check for a worn or cracked striker lock/disconnector. It's the silver part that always fall out when you remove the trigger pack from the receiver

I had repaired my friends l85 with a cycling issue, which is one reason I personally dislike the weapon. Anyho I had stripped the bolt carrier and assembly right down and used engine cleaner on the rods to clean any deposits. I also did the same to the bolt I applied it with a q tip. I had reapplied some clp to the bolt and rods oh and I also added some o rings where the bolt hits at the rear plate where the rods connect to act as a cushion instead of being metal on metal. I hope it makes sense and helps you out.
