You could have gotten a piece of lent or something in there when you detail stripped the bolt. I would take it back down and reclean. The excess oil could also be holding a bunch of crud in there like carbon and dirt.
AR15 ROOM - Problems FTE Issues

Before I post this on AR15.com and get beaten about the face and neck w/ the "noob" bat, I thought I'd bring it here.
My bushmaster XM15 AR is acting like a b*tch lately, the "spring" which forces the round out of the chamber won't fully eject the round. See action shot on the farm w/ camera phone:

Keep in mind, I've got MAYBE 300 rounds through this gun. Shooting .223 Remmington JHP, 5.56x45mm Ball Surplus Rounds, misc others. Nothing crazy and nothing hand loaded..
Here's an example of how far the rod comes out, as you can see it's not fully extended enough to force the round out:

While on the farm I tore down the gun, and put some oil in the hole for the spring and made it go back and forth a half dozen times, nothing seems to be holding the thing up, but after 2-3 more rounds it does the same damn thing again.
This is where I put the oil to try and resolve the issue:

I had 40 round through the gun before it started happening today, prior to today's shooting I DETAIL cleaned it. The last time I had it out I had 50 rounds and it started doing this... If I shoot the gun with JUST a round in the chamber the bolt comes back as if to extract, then loads the same round right back into the chamber...
ANY idea's on how I stop this from happening?!?

I was not aware of the "gas ring staggering" thing.
Rumors are ussually based in 10% fact.. Assuming it's 10% true, I'll stagger them so I'm not 90% wrong.
