With the available information, I'd say Litt'le Lee's guess is a pretty good one. Given all of the correct parts, there aren't very many ways to assemble a Garand action incorrectly and still get everything to fit together. I'd bet that if an experienced person took a look, the problem would quickly be obvious.
