You sure a screw head or something from mounting the side mount (I'm assuming a MTK-83 mount is one of those side rails) isn't interfering with the action?

A side mount is pretty much right in line with the operational bits of the fire selector (the ones on the outside of the mechbox). Putting pressure on those bits (or obstructing them with a screw head poking where there used to be empty space) would probably cause problems related to the selector.

If it works fine outside the receiver that suggests it's something with the receiver - perhaps something that recently changed with the receiver since the last time it worked fine, like the mount.
