Jack
I was not getting it down on the firing pin far enough.

Now it seems I safety won't engage in cocked position without pulling the hammer back a bit. All the numbers match. Have not fired the gun and did not take time to inspect the bolt function before beginning to clean it up. The gun was still packed in cosmoline.

Any ideas?
