For the money you paid,I would expect any upper to function flawless and not have to tear it apart. :twocents:
That's my only advise.
I could tell look here ,do this,but should not have too .

With the bcg taken out, i can drop a cartridge into the chamber and drop it out no problem, no friction. Wouldnt that indicate that the problem is with the bolt, not the chamber?

The bolt has no markings on it to indicate which caliber it is intended for, and one thing of note is that NLA's explanation for why it was taking so damn long to ship was that they were waiting on BCGs

In one of your pictures, the extractor marks don't look like they went far enough over the rim.  Is the ejector jammed forward?

Interesting, my ejector is square face, but was clearly beveled, which i was wondering if that was damage.  Seems pretty hoaky for an 800 dollar upper to have a ghetto rigged ejector instead of just the proper rounded one.  Im thinking this is just going to get returned.
