At this point I've gone through the process several dozen times. It seems to me all parts are in where they belong. I suspect something got tweeked ever so slightly.

I did have an "oops" moment the last disassembly before installing the hammer bushing. I was having difficulty removing the barrel/receiver from the grip frame. Per manual instructions, I tapped with a rubber mallet several times before realizing that I still had a magazine in the grip frame. Once the magazine was out, the receiver came right off. It was a rubber mallet and I wasn't pounding on it like a rail spike, but that is the only thing I can think of that may have goofed something up. It's ironic since part of the reason for the modification was to eliminate the magazine from the takedown process.
