Thanks sgtsandman....Well that pretty much confirms that the bolt catch is the problem. I tried for s**ts and giggles to just shake the rifle while the bolt was locked to the rear and it doesnt take much for the bolt to slam forward. I took it to a certified sw armorer around my area and he also said something might be impeding the movement of the bolt catch from achieving the proper angle, most likely on the ambi side of the bolt catch bc there's theoretically nothing to impede the bolt catch from going all the way up on the standard side (standard bolt catch side rh shooter). It doesnt go all the way up on my gun.
