Ruger MK I, II, III improvement
There is a Hammer Strut Support for Ruger MK pistols. It greatly aids in reassembly of Ruger pistols.
If any of you have disassembled a MK I, II, or III you know how much of a pain in the ass to get that hammer strut back in. I ordered one, and I'll report on it after I install mine. Amazon has th Hammer Strut Supports. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Subscribed! I've only had the Mark III apart once, and when I sent it to Ruger for a trigger reset issue, they noted some scratch damage from my re-assembly process.

I may have to order one of those. I have a 1950's era Ruger .22 I bought used back in the late 70's. I've taken it down exactly twice (2) in all that time due to the PITA re-assembly process.

That would probably be a MK I. Check your serial number. Not for MK I serial numbers 10-56690 through 12-29xxx

I know this thread is a year old, but a few months back I bought one of the Hammer Strut Supports directly from the older gentleman in FL that holds the patent and it works incredibly well.
If you have a MK I, II, or III they are well worth the $20 investment. It takes a few minutes to install it if you try to watch the installation video because the man shot the video in very poor lighting conditions. But between the paper instructions that come with it and the video it's not too hard to figure out. Before I learned about the HSS it had gotten to the point that I didnt shoot my MK III because it was too hard to reassemble after the cleaning. |

I guess I’d better go and check a couple of serial numbers.
