M3 bolt lock button problems

Hi all - I hope everyone is well today.

I currently use a Benelli M2 and M3 for competitions.   I added a new carrier and enlarged bolt release switch to the M3 a few years ago.

Everything has been fine with the M3 until recently.   Now every time the bolt cycles on the M3, I end up with a ghost loaded round inside the carrier and can’t reload any more rounds until the gun runs dry.

when the bolt cycles, I can see the bolt lock open button moves and a cartridge is released into the carrier ramp, blocking it for reloading.

I’ve taken the trigger group out and inspected it carefully and can’t see anything wrong.

my M2 doesn’t move the bolt lock open button at all when it cycles so I don’t know why the M3 is playing up all of a sudden.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one? I can’t see any wear and tear that could cause the issue.

many thanks
