Mine don’t look much different than yours on the lower access spacing/gap. So I’m thinking it’s the spring. Are you sure you used the correct spring when you installed the lower parts?

No, I'm not sure of that. I've ordered a couple of Bolt catch replacement kits that have the appropriate spring, detent, and roll pin. As soon as I get those in, I'll pull out the old assembly, hopefully without damaging the lower. Ill have to lube it up with penetrating oil to loosen the old pin. Then I an pull it out.

That’s a good start.

What's your recommendation on removing the old bolt catch roll pin? I'll probably start with some penetrating oil and light taps. I just have to be real careful I don't damage the lower.

Tape up the lower anywhere the punch or hammer may come in contact with. Use the proper sized punch and lightly tap it out from the muzzle towards the Butt end. Take your time and use oil. Should come out somewhat easily.
