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

Oh ye of little faith.
Did the same thing with a transmission recently.
Had a few parts left over, and it still works.
Ya never know ...

Those parts are just accessories.

All better now!

With Williams fire sights and Volquartsen accuratizing kit; magazine disconnect and right hand safety lever deleted. That's Valentine's day all sorted then.


Didn't take it to the range yet, but dry-fired it a couple of times with snap-caps, and that's a nice, straight, non-wobbly, crisp, light trigger pull with about 1/16" of pre-travel.


And to avoid falling into the same trap I did, yes RTFM. Gun needs to be cocked and the safety on for disassembly, and while apart, under no circumstances should you manipulate any of the controls left on the grip, Not the safety, not the bolt hold-open, and certainly not the trigger. Otherwise, see #1 in this thread for the consequences. Put it back together, move the safety to "fire', and dry fire it to decock it for storage.

We all knew that.
