Firing block????

Are you saying the Bolt falls out???
Or the Trigger Housing falls out???

If it's the bolt, the rifle needs to be returned to Ruger Service Dept. ASAP for repair.
If it's the trigger housing, check the screws for tightness that holt the metal frame in the stock the guard locks into.

Almost certainly has something to do with the sheet metal frame inside the stock that the trigger guard locks into.

If you cannot visually see (or you cannot figure out) why it is happening, the rifle should go back to Ruger.

I presume there is something out of adjustment, perhaps just bent a little bit the wrong way! It sounds as if something is preventing you to lock the trigger assembly to the receiver due to something that has to do with the stock or with the metal inside the stock.

I remember, with my Mini-14 I used to own, I really had to press that trigger guard into place to make it latch-up (I remember holding the gun with both hands and using both hands to press the receiver and the bottom of the trigger guard together until there was a definate "SNAP")!

Pull the trigger group and look at the hooks on the top part of the trigger guard, see if they look bent. If so you can get a replacement trigger guard from a number of sources for not much money and they are easy to replace. They can be bent if you do not get the trigger group seated properly and lock the trigger guard down with force.
