Very carefully bend it, it does not take much, and you dont want to be bending it back and forth. Baby steps till it just sits off the bolt. Take the upper off the rifle so you can cycle the bolt and watch the ejector, make sure your tweaking the EJECTOR, not the EXTRACTOR. Mine came from the factory screwed up, and since I fixed it, it runs so well I went ahead and made an SBR out of it. Of course, make sure your extractor is grabbing also, I like to use fired shells because that simulates a distorted shell as it would be after being fired, any extractor will pull a fresh round.
