Your title for the topic is a little misleading IMHO. It sounds like the Ruger is defective instead of an owners mistake. That said, IF you can't follow youtube directions, send it back to Ruger.
FYI---I used youtube for detailed cleaning instructions on my S&W AR,my Glock and my Ruger 10/22 and found several useful tips.
Good luck----they are sweet shooting rifles.
