Ruger Mark Series reassembly.


Capbyrd

Recommended Posts

I posted a video here a few years back that was really too dark to see.  I shot a new one this weekend.  I hope this helps some people.  

 

 

 

One more note that I should have mentioned when filming. If your pistol still has a magazine disconnect, then you will need to reinsert your magazine when pulling the trigger. Otherwise, the hammer won't move where you need it to.

Why?  

I thought it would be a fun thing to tear down my 22/45 for a look-see after I picked it up (not smart). During reassembly the strut was giving me fits when I was try to seat the mainspring. Having done my MKI in a matter of minutes the 22/45 should have taken just as little time also (or so I thought). 43 year old MKI goes together like butter.

I've cussed William Ruger and wished very bad things alone him and the next 100 generations of his descendants many times over this God awful design.

LOL!!! I 've heard many people express similar feelings over these pistols. Of course I would never lower myself to that kind of behavior. :wall:

Awesome video!  Thank you fo taking the time to make it.   I'm about to disassemble mine for a good cleaning and been a little apprehensive about it due to what I've heard about reassembling it.

Don't do it!  :lol:

They are fun in more ways than one!

whats even worse than putting it back together, is a magazine can be inserted backwards. Unfortunately it gets destroyed when you finally get it out.

Great vid, Cap. :up:

However, I've been fussing with my Mark II for about 25 years.  Needed a hammer last time.  It's never coming apart again, at least by my hands.  Liberal blastings of Remoil are good enough for cleaning out the innards.

I'm a firm believer that you never REALLY need to take them apart. A bore snake and CLP aerosol will take care of the gun for way longer than most of us will own them.

This is the clearest, to-the-point video I have seen on re-assembly.

I remember, before the internet, being on the phone with CS at Ruger, them walking me through re-assembly.........PITA

Info about the 'springy' bolt stop pin assembly is priceless.

I would like to ask you to edit your [OP] post, and include your 'note', in case someone watches but doesn't read below it.

Note: "One more note that I should have mentioned when filming. If your pistol still has a magazine disconnect, then you will need to reinsert your magazine when pulling the trigger. Otherwise, the hammer won't move where you need it to."

Good job, Brother.
