Probably a manufacturing burr, or maybe a little hidden stuck-on gunk.
Rarely do folks totally disassemble for cleaning, including pulling pins
and taking it totally apart...for obvious reasons...
but its not unusual to find gunk in those pin spaces,
and it can cause some odd stuff to occur.
Marlin model 60/70/795's are notorious for this...
gunk gets in the trigger pin holes and gums up the works...
a dunk in a sonic cleaner works wonders, or you can do it the old-fashioned way
An inexpensive Sonic cleaner can be had at Harbor Freight,
the larger one is good for placing almost any pistol frame into...
Not having to disassemble is worth every penny
