I remember having a similar problem after reassembling a Mini 14 with the operating rod off the the bolt. The notch on the operating rod that the bolt was supposed to fit into was either behind, in front of, or otherwise not over the part of the bolt that attaches the two parts. It took a lot of pulling to get the rifle apart.
Unless the operating rod is bent, or the guide rod is bent or somehow fouled by the spring, I can't see why you'd be having this problem. Can you hear anything when you force the action open? The rifle may be covered by the warranty, but if it was mine, I'd break it down to see whats wrong.
