I would never have guessed the rotary bolt. Thought the top lever post spring was worn. Good you fixed it.
The ejector problem could be that one of the ejector springs is worn or broken. Or the cocking plate is worn more than the other side. Since it is the right side, the side you shoot more often, take a look at that. If it is the spring, I just found one in a hardware store that carried a lot of springs. Size is 5/16" o.d. x 1 1/4" long. Take the other one with you if that is the problem. I couldn't find one the exact length so I bought longer ones and cut to length. They are a strong spring, the wire is .047 in diameter. If you can't find one, email me and I will send you one. If the cocking plate is worn too much, I don't know where you are going to get that, the ones for ejectors have a thin pin going through it and it comes out through the forend iron.
