Question on assembling Ruger 10/22

Hey guys... You know the joke about having extra car parts after attempting to put a car together... It happened to my Ruger 10/22 and I feel really dumb right now...

I took the Ruger 10/22 apart for the first time for cleaning today. I had to hammer to get the two trigger group bolts out, but a smaller bolt that holds the magazine release fell out, and I heard a rattle sound in the trigger group... then another bolt fell out... I cannot figure out where that bolt belongs... See the picture below, the blue lines are where I believe each of the bolts go, but one circled in red, I cannot find a home for... It almost feels like it's a spare part, but it doesn’t make sense for it to be inside the trigger group.

Thanks for the help.

Also, an unrelated question... I accidentally spayed G96 gun treatment into the hole where the firing pin rests in a Mossberg 88. I tried to dab as much of it out with a cloth, but is it safe to store/operate, or do I need to take it apart and clean it? From YouTube, it looks like it's not advisable for newbies to take part in the firing pin part on Mossberg.

Oh grasshopper!! Where do I begin with you?? First of all, there are very few screws in a Ruger 10/22. Action screw ,two on the barrel v block, one in the magazine. The screws you’re referring are actually all pins with no thread. You’ve completely disassembled your trigger pack which is unnecessary unless replacing parts or installing a tune up kit like Kidd,Volquartsen or Tandem across. Your best course is to watch a YouTube video or 5 or better yet, take it to a qualified Gunsmith. There are no extra parts and if you’re not competent don’t try and become another Bubba!! That trigger is what discharges your firearm so it’s really important to have it functioning properly for obvious reasons.
 
Thats some ambitious cleaning.
Your highly motivated.
Since I dont know the pin size of that one circled in red, could it be B19 ?

Sorry I don't have my 10/22 here to help you.

Got the pin that holds the sear/trigger?

As per your 88. A air compressor and blow gun is a great tool. Id blow out the firing pin hole with compressed air.

Yeah the new plastic housings, the pins walk out stupid easy. Im considering a dab of glue. Not like you need to take it apart often.

Likely could been a spare that fell in during manafacturing. New rugers have teriable Qc.
 
Hesitant to point out the two screws under the barrel; pull them and you've got those plus the barrel, v-block, and receiver as separate pieces that have to go back together too!
 
Hi guys, thank you all for the kind replies. I just got a chance to check this thread. I am still a newbie, please use simple terms lol

As weird as it sounds, I've put together the 10/22 a few times, dry-fired with dummy rounds, and everything seems to work, but I still cannot find a place to put the extra pin.

I didn’t know about the exploding graphic, thank you for this, going to be helpful for future/other projects. The pin is the same size as B35, and as far as I can tell, there are two of them (but I have three); the B19 is the slightly larger pin (the one left of the red circle).

I agree the B35 was very loose, honestly, I only took apart the trigger group when the pin fell out and the trigger shifted... The tape sounds like a good idea.

At this point, I feel it's a spare part... like during assembly it fell out and they just put in a new one... I will take it to the shop just to be safe and will update here afterwards.

I will try out the air compressor method, thank you.
