Ruger Mark II Issue with Bolt

[Fleche]

Hi, guys, I just brought a Ruger Mark II pistol, took it to the range and it work beautifully.
Then I took it apart for cleaning, took many hours for me to put it back together.

I think I did everything right, but now when I pull on the bolt, it comes out ok, but won't slid back fully.

I can still push it in and able to pull the trigger to get the hammer to drop.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Watch the whole VID... but pay close attention from about 3:48 and on...
that there is the answer to your problem

I found that video too, the only thing that's not quite right is I don't feel the tension before snapping the spring assembly in...but I'm sure the little pin is in the right place, otherwise I can't pull the bolt back at all.

If the strut is aligned with the swing out assembly correctly....then the spring in the swing out assembly may have failed?? Not common for the spring to fail....from what I have read/seen.

@ Fleche

You get your MK II back in working order yet...?

My problem was #6, hammer pivot pin came out a little. Man, that's over 6 hours of total tinkering...I'm pretty sure I can put the darn thing back with my eyes closed now.

That's what happens with these. People whine and complain about how hard they are to work on but once you get past the initial PITA they are easy.
