Newbe here. Limited experience but I have 2 ruger revolvers and just purchased 22/45 target with 5.5 bull barrel. First thing I did was disassemble and then reassembled. Used alot of info from this site and I thought I finallly got it put back together properly. But, the gun is locked up. I cannot pull the bolt back. After the bolt has been inserted in the barrel the safety and bolt release do not move when pressed. When I insert a mag the bolt stop moves up and when I move the bolt stop down the mag ejects. Also, I understand that the main spring housing and especially the bolt stop pin are difficult to remove/insert at first being somewhat stiff. But it appears the bolt stop pin is especially hard to remove and replace in position and I wonder if the barrel is not setting correctly on the grip frame as well.
Apologize for yet another novice problem. But after many hours I need your help. Wondering if I have a defective weapon or I am inept. I appreciate the experience and knowledge of the members of this site and have been reading posts here on and off for several years before getting my 22/45. Thanks to Bullseye for his help in getting onto site.
