Does it stick with the bolt open? Can you push down on the magazine with the bolt open?

Did you try some break free oil?

Without a hands-on, it's difficult to ascertain the problem. Being with anything other than the magazine latch.

The site at this link has a gunsmiths take on the BLR. He notes that the latch is easily removed by drifting out it's retaining pin.
