One other thing I thought of - Did you take apart the gas block? If not, then don't do it. If so, there is a tiny gas bushing that can get out of place, or lost. This will screw up the gas system. Also, the gas block screws are usually staked - you don't want to mess with this unless you really know what you are doing.

Really, Skans, it's not that big of a deal to take apart that gas block. Ruger, like other manufacturers, is going to throw out all kinds of warnings to cover their liability, but any guy who has some decent mechanical skills shouldn't be daunted by the process. It's just 4 screws and 4 parts. As long as a guy is careful about seating the bushing in the barrel cavity, and the screws are tightened in an even sequence, keeping the block gaps even, this is not major surgery.
