And do you have a BAD lever? Cuz that can cause it, too.

Plunger on bolt catch spring is stuck. It happened to me recently. There was too much anodize or maybe a burr in the hole and I had to clean it up a bit.

I had the same thing happen. I was unable to get the detent out, used a 5/32 bit hand held to push it in enough to clean the burr off. Once done, cleaned everything and all good to go.

I have made it a habit to chase every detent hole on lowers before assembly. Too many times there is a burr or too much finish causing things to be too tight for smooth function especially on detents.

Not a bad idea as a safeguard.

just spit-balling, there might be debris in that hole, extending the reach of the spring
