Edward,

Do you have spring tension on the toggle? Is it hard to raise? Are you sure the safety is off?

Are you certain that the sideplate was correctly seated during reassembly?

If you remove the sideplate, and then close the takedown lever you should be able to raise the toggle and **** the firing pin. You should be able to drop it down by pressing down hard on the front of the sear bar. If that all works then you have eliminated most of the hassle... the only other things it could be is the trigger and/or the sideplate... odds are that you have just not aligned the parts properly on re-assembly...

Let us know how you make out...
