17 WSM tensioner

On a recent squirrel shooting trip, the tensioner, tensioner detent, tensioner spring disappeared out of the bolt on my RIM X 17WSM. I was having some issues chamberring rounds before started having ejection issue. Anyone else experience these issues?
I am planning on talking to Ray at RIM X soon. Thanks!!
 
Following along here, always thought the RimX would make a great 17WSM . The only one I've seen was a coworkers who brought it into work, he competes in some long range 22lr stuff and loves his. The only thing I can think is that carbon or some junk got you on your extended squirrel shoot. I definitely don't clean my 17WSM Ruger enough. Love the round and hope you get this squared away ASAP.

The RimX is by far my best 17WSM's have three of them and they are all tack drivers!!!! My issue was probably self inflicted by trying to single feed spent live rounds again (poor primer paste placement in ammo). Have parts coming. For the number of rounds thru these rifles this has been the first mechanical issue. I hope the new Winchester ammo is more consistent and better quality control than all of my old inventory.
