hey everyone,
Just wanted to say that I fixed the issue, or rather somebody else fixed the issue as I brought it back to the store and it was unrepairable, the guy said it was a defect and gave me a new one on the spot, which I stripped down entirely and put back together and the issue didn't return, which shows I was putting it together correctly as I thought.

Good to hear. At least you got very fond of the firearm! Always safety first
