Failure to go into battery every time

A few things immediately look a bit curious on your photos:

There seems to be a beveled or recessed area on the breech bolt on each side of the extractor near the top front of the breech bolt. This area should not be recessed, someone has done some work.

The extractor should be a numbered part on a byf, with the number visible on top. This extractor is not original to the pistol.

The side of the ejector visible on the outside of the gun should have a uniform appearance. This ejector has some surface issue at front - I can't tell what it is but it doesn't look right. If you compare the right side of your pistol to photos of other pistols you'll see what I mean. I'm wondering if there is a weld.

I'd suggest remove the extractor and ejector and post detailed photos of those parts and the front of the breech bolt from several angles.
