Thanks for these 3 videos, I'm brand new to firearms and I just recently purchased a Mark III 22 45 and your video was a huge help to me.

Thanks--you make it look easy. Still trying to break my Mark III in so it will go a little more smoothly, like yours.

Thanks much, esp for the clear detail on re-assembly. 45 degree angle is not not the same as "up" in other instructions.

Reinserting the Main Spring Housing (MSH) after Bolt Pin is pushed through to the top of the barrel (assumes barrel and frame are aligned OK):

1. Reinsert the magazine

2. Pull the trigger 3 times and hold it.

3. Point the gun at the 10' o'clock position (45 degree angle) with the strut pointing to the curved portion of the Main Spring Housing.

4. Close the MSH and flip the lever to the fully-closed position

5. Cock the gun, push down on the bolt release, pull the trigger to dry fire the gun.

Just out of curiosity, which scope model do you have mounted on your Ruger? Has this scope met your expectations in terms of improving your firing accuracy upon targets?

You make the disassembly / assembly look so easy. I am getting the same Ruger Hunter model you used in the videos for a Christmas present. Just out of curiosity, are brand new models just as easy to field strip as you demonstrated OR does the weapon have to have 1000 rounds past through it. Any unique things I should do on the first breakdown of the weapon to make it go as smoothly as you have demonstrated. Thanks!
