  when you put the bolt back in, did you have the barrel pointed at about 45 degrees up, and the trigger pulled back? i thought mine was all screwed up one day and it turned out the hammer strut was in the wrong position, and i didn't reset the hammer when i put it back together. before you do too much to it, i would try taking it apart and putting it back together a few times to see if you missed anything. sometimes the simplest solution is doing it over again. i wish you the best of luck, cody

  reassembling the ruger is tricky. The hammer strut gets caught behind that little pin that goes crosswise thru the frame, right at the end of the strut. When you reassemble, the hammer has to be in the "down" or fired position. If it's not, then the strut can't be positioned properly on top of the Jackknife shaped Mainspring housing. I always check to make sure of this, before pivoting the mainspring housing on into the frame.

  Do you have the manual and are folloing reassembly instructions from it?
  
  Ruger has the manual online--it's a PDF file; reassembly starts on page 20:
