That burr on your ejector shouldn't be there. Send those photos to Ruger 'cause it's a QA issue. If you can, drift out the ejector retaining pin & polish the ejector face yourself. I don't have a Ruger American so I'm just guessing on its ejector installation. I've had to replace ejectors on other bolts & that's a common way they are retained. Be careful it doesn't shoot across the room after you remove the pin. Been there, done that!:p Now I put some masking tape across the bolt face before removing the pin.
I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
