Ruger Mark III.......in pieces

[PGTMG]

Youtube or AGI DVD should do the trick.

On my third MK series pistol (not because they break, but because I'm an adict). I agree with Clandestine, its near impossible to explain. The one tip I can provide is to use the safety to hold the sear and sear spring in position while installing the hammer. That's the hardest part of assembly in my opinion, but once you know to use the safety as a third hand, it becomes very easy.

FYI, theres no need to strip down the frame to parts.

Agreed. I've fired approx 4500 rounds through my Mark III and never even field stripped it.

Usually just blast it with some Gun Scrubber and/or Hoppes to get the big stuff out, use a swab or small brush to agitate the chamber/bolt face, and a few strokes with a snake for the bore. Hit it with Ballistol or Rem Oil and put it away. It has only failed twice, once with some 20+ year old ammo that didn't initiate, and once with a Winchester Bulk round with a loose projectile that failed to feed.

Regarding your (the OP) issue... set aside an hour or two, read the manual and then watch a bunch of YT videos on the subject. Then separate out the parts and identify what each one is, and what group it belongs to. Ensure you have all the parts. From there, get yourself a cool drink (non-alcoholic of course) and build it up slowly. Function check before firing. You'll be fine. Be safe.

now this is a GOOD deal $35 .

No kidding. I was afraid the quote would be $100+

For $35 I'd get Chad to do it. Dirt cheap insurance that it got done correctly.

I just did this to my project MKII, and currently have everything in but the hammer/safety group. This is way helpful...

Once I have it re-finished, I won't be doing that again

I can assemble them asleep but it dosent make sense written down.

That is what I am doing wrong.
