I do not remember now which detail, perhaps pulling and holding the trigger. Pointing the barrel up or down as directed is also very important. I am sure you are certain you have done everything correctly. I was. Then I found I had missed one little thing.
I have had a Ruger Mark III for several years now and used to have difficulty reassembling it after cleaning. I tried all the different tips below, e. So, I sat down and tried to figure it out myself, and I came up with this simple process that requires no tools whatsoever.

You will see them again and again.

Question 2 years ago on Introduction. I am trying to assemble my Ruger mark lol pistol. Question 3 years ago on Introduction.
Holy cow. I was thinking about buying one of these. Now there's no way I'm going to do it. This is waaaaay too complicated. I am bewildered. I assemble the pistol, but the bolt will not retract and I cannot pull the trigger.
So, can anyone send me a pix showing where the hammer strut is supposed to be before reinstalling the mainspring housing.
I have the hammer strut lying on the cross pin. Any help is much appreciated. Reply 5 years ago. I do not have my pistol anywhere near and it has been a while since I have done the task. But, do be very careful to hold the pistol exactly as described step by step. If you do not, things inside do not fall into their proper place. Sometimes the pistol needs to point upward, sometimes downward.
Take no shortcuts. Ignore no detail. You will not notice that something inside is out of place, but the pistol will have problems like you describe. II would have thought the photo in step 8 shows what you are asking.
I've read the manual a couple of times - not clear what is stopping it so close to be fully in. Reply 7 years ago on Step It has been a while since I have handled my pistol, and I am away from home for a couple of more weeks, yet. However, I am confident something is not where it should be and is making an obstruction.
Although I am certain you are feeling quite a bit of frustration, I expect you missed some small detail or something like the hammer moved without your notice. When I was preparing this Instructable I ran the various steps over and over to take note of what could go wrong and to provide the most foolproof progression of steps and precautions I could. Still, it is easy for some small thing to go unnoticed and suddenly something especially the hammer, is not where it should be and then the gun will not go together correctly again.
My advice would be to start from the beginning and see if you missed or misunderstood something. No Way! You can not dry fire a rim fire pistol. You risk the pin being rammed into the receiver assembly resulting in a totally ruined Ruger. Read your Ruger manual. I owned one of these pistols and they must never be dry fired!
Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. The pistol can be dry fired as long as the firing pin stop is in place see NOTE in step 5 on page Thank you, NachoMahma. I had been out of town for a couple of weeks and could not check my pistol's manual to respond with more detail to glorybe. His comment made me afraid I had missed something, had given bad information, and would be responsible for causing damage to numerous Ruger pistols.
Reply 11 years ago on Step 3. I suspect that there may have been changes to the Ruger assembly over the years. The one that I owned had a manual that was adamant about not dry firing the weapon.
Apparently other folks had MarkIII pistols that could be dry fired. I don't know why the firing pin was ever made in such a way that any event would allow it to ram into the surrounding parts of the weapon. I can also say that it was not my favorite weapon as about every 15 rounds or so I would have to clear a non fired cartridge from the weapon.
