On the first instance, I certainly would have called Ruger. You still might ought to. Is that critter shearing grade 8 caphead bolts? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that those bolts are torqued to a specific level- but I'm not even 100% sure failure to do that would cause separation of parts. Call Ruger.
