Well that ain't right (Ruger MkIV doesn't go back together, hammer in the way)

[Kar98]

Went and got the MK IV 22/45 Lite for the wife, figured I'd lube it up before it gets fired. And somehow I ended up with the barrel in this position, preventing the barrel to latch back on:

Seeing how new the pistol is, Google isn't much help. How do I reset the hammer??

 

[Kar98]

Hammer is back down, rear end of the barrel still doesn't freaking latch. WTFSBBQ

I thought I would wait a few years for them to work the kinks out of the mk IV before I buy one. I am sorry to hear about your problem, and I hope you get it fixed.

 

[Hoji]

Easier take down and reassembly they said.....

Hope you get it figured out soon OP. Nothing on YouTube yet?

 

[Kar98]

YouTube only has the "look, so easy to take down and put it back on!" videos so far. Was gonna sneak a look at the ones at the gun range, but guess what, they're both out for repair. Also, my apologies for bothering you, jeepinetc.

It's a good thing Ruger customer service is closed until Monday. That gives me some time to calm down

why? they didn't **** it up, you did..

 

[shortround]

Did you read the manual?

The MKIV is by far the best iteration of the series.

Be well.

I'm spraying down my Mk I with WD40 & updating my Ruger spreadsheet.

Thought you were trying to put it back together.

 

[Dawico]

Yeah, you seem to be moving in the wrong direction.

 

[BigTexasOne]

I believe that the safety has to be on but I'm not sure, try it

 

[Kar98]

Well the safety is definitely not on now

I have all the hammer, safety, magazine disconnect, sear, pins, springs, bushing, misc. other bullshit parts in a little jar, barrel latches on to the receiver as it should.

I know where most of the parts go, some I even know which way around. Time to call it a night. Field-stripped and re-assembled my PPS a couple of times just to make sure it's not me who's 'tarded, but Bill goddamn Ruger who's the ultimate American troll. I also may have had a couple or three beers.

 

[Dawico]

Give you $100 for that pile of parts and you can celebrate the fact that you outsmarted it.

 

[Kar98]

Well... I could let you have the hammer bushing, sear and hammer because since they're out anyway, might as well get the upgrade parts.
