The disconnector is one of the two parts you can see sticking up into the bolt raceway when you have the rifle stripped down and the bolt out of the rifle; the sear will have a flat face on the rear of it to engage the sear step on the bottom of the bolt, while the disconnector should be rounded, since the only thing it needs to do is get knocked back by the movement of the bolt to disconnect the sear. You also need to look at the other components in the equation; does the sear grab the bolt when you pull the bolt completely to the rear? If it does, then the ammunition you're using may not have enough "oomph" to kick the bolt far enough to the rear. If it doesn't, then you've got a mechanical problem in the trigger group that is going to require some hands-on evaluation.
