Two questions, is the safety switch original or is it a sporter type, ie Beuhler? Is the firing pin/internals in the right position to install? Usually when removing the internals from a bolt, you pull back on the firing pin knob and swing the safety switch to the straight up position, depress the bolt lock button and unscrew. Goes back in as removed until the button lines up in it's notch and then flip the safety on/off to release the spring tension. Often times the sporter safeties either won't swing up or you have to fiddle with them by moving the firing pin knob back and forth a bit to find where they will.

As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."
