New Colt 6920. Went to the range today and shot 270 rounds of Federal 5.56 M193, (rifle now has 450 rds. though it total). It ran fine and ejection was normal at 3:00. At home, while cleaning the bolt I felt a sharp edge and noticed the ejector (not extractor) pin sticking up above the bolt surface. I have a 1/16" roll pin punch and tried tapping it down but not budging. Doesn't seem normal and don't remember it being like that before. I don't think it should be standing proud of the bolt.
Do these things walk out slightly on their own? Looked at the bolt on my $500 Anderson AM-15 with 1,000 round through it and the pin is recessed fully on both sides. I thought the Colt would be an upgrade.PXL_20201027_224030037.jpg
