Sounds like something is bnnidig on the recoil piece. Did you put the correct size screws into the proper holes? You may have put a longer screw into a hole that requires a shorter one.Take it back apart and see if there are any new scrape marks on the rotating parts. Either that or there isn’t enough tension on the recoil spring.Good luck with it.
