Magazine or recoil spring sounds like the likely culprits.
FTF could be a couple other things too. I tried Fiocci ammo, and it successfully turned the gun into a single shot. I even tried a lighter spring and it was a no-go. Then I read here that the Fiocci stuff was best used in revolvers. Since you have several mags, that is the logical thing to try first, but if the problem persists, try changing the ammo. I also believe that since this gun was designed to work with such a narrow range of power (mid-range wadcutters) it is probably more susceptible to the limp wrist issues known to effect some semi autos.

Keep us informed as to what you find, as it may help the next guy out.
