Do you grip the gun by the magazine well? I've seen severe peening on bolt catches caused by people inadvertantly having pressure on it while the gun is cycling. Can you post some some pictures of the bolt catch? Also, replace the bolt catch, spring and plunger. If the parts are peened then they need to be replaced.
