Thanks. I wanted to create something to supplement the poor instructions found in the owner's manual, plus many folks like to customize and these instructions have been very helpful in the past. Many folks have commented that my pages have helped them when they were knee deep in parts and couldn't get their pistols back together again. I've got one for regular Mark III's too.

Extremely helpful pages.
I replaced my extractor with a VQ Exact Edge one.
It should have been a cinch but I had a very hard time pushing the plunger back to free the extractor. Very fine punches, jewelers screwdrivers, four different shapes of dental picks. (And I should done it inside a clear plastic bag to avoid the usual looooooooooooong hunt after an object goes BOINGGGGGGG!)
I have written to Ruger suggesting that they make a place on the plunger where a pointed object can grab or get a positive hold to push the plunger back, with "some" control.
What is the plunger made of?
Would it be easy to file a v-edge in its top? Actually not so much a regular V but more like a check mark notch?
