Ruger MK pistol frames either fit on the receiver or they are lose or tight, that's just the way it is. I had a standard model that was so tight it took a mallet to separate the receiver from the grip frame, then I had a stainless Govt model that the receiver fell off the grip frame, and when...

You missed getting the hammer strut pin in the pocket on the top of the main spring housing. Swing out the main spring housing and look in until you find the hammer strut, make sure it is in the pocket. You can tell when you get it because the MSH will have some spring resistance just before it...
