            Bolt not going back far enough? Do you have something other than a standard length screw holding on the stock & buttpad?

                Quit fondling it.
                Go to the range and shoot it.

                  Potentially, bad magazine.

                  LOOK thru the ejection hole, when it doesn't hold it back, has the bolt-catch pushed up by the magazine's follower?

                      I think the easiest thing to check first is to borrow a friend's mag and try it again. It's usually a bad mag.

                          Check the Mag spring make sure its in correct, I had that problem.

                          It happend on my C Products 10/30 If you look threw the mag catch hole on the mag the spring coil should aim towards the the tip of the bullet.

                            Wait.... what magazine do you have? I had seen Promag(not P-Mag) w/ or w/o Magpul follower not being about to consistantly engage the bolt catch.

                            The rear materials(thickness of the magazine wall near the bolt catch) of Promag somehow are thicker, that may lead to the follower not being able to get to the bolt catch.
