Ok, I think you're right. Moving my bolt slowly over it, I can definitely feel it drag. It's not major, but now that I'm looking for it, it is noticeable as soon as the bolt goes over the extractor and there is some slight wear showing up on one of the extractor edges.
I have a spare standard buffer laying around, would that work? Or do I need to try and shave down the NFA extractor?
Thanks again for the help on this.

Try to move the ejector slightly so it no longer contacts the bolt, allowing the bolt to travel smoothly.
You can use a sharpie to mark the ejector, run the bolt over it, and then use that to determine how much, and what direction to move it.
Moving it over ever so slightly isn't hard...it will require finesse as it only needs the slightest tap with a very small hammer.
I've done before, and it does work just fine. You'll find other threads describing the same process in more detail.
I used a cheap usb "endoscope" camera off amazon, then just inserted into the barrel towards the bolt to see what was happening as I cycled the bolt back and forth.
Saw the ejector rubbing, tap-tap, the gun runs great.
