I see alot of people complaining about fieldstriping this gun and selling them because of this.Please watch my video on Disassembly and Reassembly of the Ruger MKIII,it really isnt that bad..and I hate to see people selling such a great 22 because of that.

Thanks for leaving out one MAJOR part of reassembly! You have to be holding the trigger rearward in order to have the mainspring housing return to it's proper position in the pisol. For convenience, I figured I would use this video. Thank god I didn't force it into place, assuming I was getting correct information from the manufacturer. Now lets hope that I didn't damage the hammer strut. Now I'm starting to get upset. I love Ruger and I love this pistol, but I mean come on.

"Ruger MK III Disassembly and Reassembly...The easy way" by ammohead73is better. This Ruger video is talking too fast. ammohead73, does a well-paced show and tell with a more thorough dis-assembly (includes cleaning the bolt) and reassembly is easier, fewer steps. He does however muscle the gun, I have a plastic and rubber headed hammer I use. Only cost a few dollars for the hammer with plastic and rubber replaceable striking heads.

I have had mine apart 2 times now and it is still hard. Just watch the video over and over and you will get it. I also pounded the barrel on and off again and again on my carpet. You will notice some wear points on a new gun. It helped me to take a razor knife and help wear it in at these points of binding.

Awesome gun. Helpful tip: Don't take it apart. Lord!

maybe the hammer wasn't in the full forward position when you went to put the main spring housing pin back in? to get that in the full forward position which is necessary for complete reassembly you need to pull the trigger. not really sure. not doubting you just from my personal experience
