For whatever reason your magazine Trapdoor screw is binding up the bolt. it may have been over-tightened, or just a bit to long.
The trap door screw is the shorter of the 3 screws by .325 inch. The screw should measure about 1.395 inches.
Maybe all you have to do is cut the screw down 1/8 inch.

You could cut a small shim from like a credit card that will fit into the pillar pocket of the stock. That would help with the long screw problem and also free float the barrel.
