My first Ruger

Use the manual for dis-assembly and re-assembly. Getting these back together is a pain in the rear end. A company does make a kit to make it easier and its on my list of things to get and install in my 22/45 mkII.

+1 I HEAR they are a pain to take apart and put back together, but in the 5 years of owning my 22/45 I have never had to disassemble it, and it is one of the best 22's I've ever owned. I had a bunch of internal work done by a good ruger gunsmith here, and slapped a red dot on it and a couple other little toys and it'll shoot minute of golfball out to 50 yards+ all day long.

lets see some pictures of that new toy of yours

taking them apart and putting them back together isn't that difficult...not as intuitive or straightforward as other guns, but not that difficult. Probably the most annoying thing about it is having to put the magazine in to pull the trigger to release the hammer (thanks to the magazine disconnect). They're kinda like jigsaw puzzles, with major assemblies locking other major assemblies in-place.

You don't really have to take them apart, though, if you can get in there with a q-tip and a boresnake...

I want a range report!! :shooter:
