I've been trying to do a better job of cleaning my firearms as I've been shooting a good be more recently. My brother owns a Ruger 10/22 carbine and I've been shooting it quite bit and decided that I needed to take apart the bolt and clean it better than can be done just by cleaning it with the magazine removed. I watched some online videos of how to take it all apart and I'm pretty confident that I have all the parts in the right place. Before disassembly anytime I pulled back the bolt it would slide forward with ease, no matter how slowly I pulled it back. Now, if I pull back the bolt really slow, I can sometimes get it to stick when its all the way back.
After looking over everything I've noticed that the ejector (part B-8) is pressed up against the underside of the bolt (part B-10) and seems to be what is causing the bolt to stick. I took everything apart to make sure I'd not done something wrong and looking over everything, it seems that the ejector isn't sitting all the way down inside the notch cut out for it in the trigger assembly (part B-2). I looked at it a bit more and I noticed that one of the pins which hold the trigger assembly in place (part B-5) pushes the ejector up ever so slightly.
I did some reading on various forums and saw some people that ran into this problem and the recommendation was to sand down the top of the ejector. This seems like a bad idea to me, as it was working perfectly fine before. If anyone here has any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong in reassembling everything I'd really appreciate your input.
