Rex,
Yep! That was it. The firing pin spring belongs on the thin, short portion of the firing pin, not the thicker end. Now the gun goes together properly, but there are still several issues that require the talents of a gunsmith before I'll be able to shoot it at the range. Thanks again for your help! I didn't have the document that detailed the tear-down and reassembly and that really helped. Thanks again!!
