I'm certain that you simply need to reset the length of your cocking rod. But before you do that you should make sure your pump arm/back block is set correctly. The back block is screwed onto the cocking rod (attached to the ram) You want to screw on the block such that, when the ram is all the way forward, the block barely misses touching the back of the body (there will ideally be a very small gap). Once that's done you can set the cocking rod length. The rod's length is set by the knob on the back of the rod. To test the rod’s length, pull back the back block until the hammer catches the sear. You want the rod's length set so that, when the hammer catches the sear, the bolt has just cleared the breech. Some people prefer to see a sliver of bolt at this point. Either is fine. If you see more than a sliver of bolt at this point, lengthen the rod. If the bolt passes too far past the breach, shorten the rod. Hope this helps.
