re-assemble Ruger Mark III hammer assembly in austin

[dalto]

So, my daughter, who was home for christmas, jammed the magazine in my Ruger Mark III backwards and the only way to remove it was to remove the hammer pin.

I was able to get the magazine out of my gun this way but the entire hammer assembly fell out and fell apart and now I have a pile of tiny pieces.

Is there anyone in the Austin area who can reassemble it or will I have to send it back to Ruger?

Take it to Red's and let our gunsmith Bill look at it ... he's a pretty good guy.

Here's a pretty detailed diagram. You may well be able to go back together with it.

The entire secret comes down to the hammer strut. At one point you have to tilt the pistol one way to insert the slide and then another to get that strut to fall into the proper location.
