Need someone to put a Ruger Mk 1 back together

[451_Detonics]

Long story short I traded a brick of Wildcat 22s for a dismantled Ruger Mk 1 and while all the parts are there I don't have either the patience or good enough hands (carpel tunnel) to put it back together. Anyone in northern Indiana up to the task?

Obtain the owner's manual from Ruger. There are very complete instructions on how to do it - and it's really not that hard. Then find someone who has hands to do it - it doesn't require a gunsmith.

YouTube is your best friend right now. No need to seek anybody to reassemble your pistol.

Damn good trade though ... a brick of ammo for a Mark I ... maybe the best trade I've read about all year.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Oh man, if I were closer I'd volunteer.

Detail stripping my 22/45 was fun...

I'd bet the Mk 1 wouldn't be too terribly different.

How far north are you talking?

Depends on what "torn down" means LOL.
Buddy took one down to every detent and spring............called me.
I hadn't owned one for 10 yrs, no YT either. I got it, but had to borrow a finger for one part.
Never had one that far apart.
No big deal really...............if you have a 3rd hand's finger to borrow for a sec.

I can get it back together for you. I have a Mark 3. I think they are close enough. I have had it apart many times. The let me know if u still need help.

Where at in north central?

The trickiest part is getting the hammer back in while keeping the sear depressed, but it's not really that hard.

Guys, he says he can not manage the assy due to physical restraints !!
If you should want to send it over to Ohio we will put it together for you N/C, all you pay is the shipping.

Unless he can get an FFL to ship it USPS that's going to cost almost as much as the gun is worth...

Mark 1's are tricky to get the piece in correctly.
You tube is the best for this...

You are correct, non-FFL would be expensive. Can't believe someone close by has not offered to help!!!!!!!!!!!
