Firestar M-43 Problem

[crownroyale]

I disassembled the gun to clean it. During reassembly I pulled the slide back to line up the marks so that I could insert the slide stop. It went in fine then the slide slipped forward. Now it is in a foward position with the recoil spring showing at the front. I can move the slide about 1/2" foward and backwards. I can not get the slide stop out. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I am hoping to get some help.

I fixed it. I pushed the barrel down through the ejection port and was able to slide the slide back.
