Hi Folks,
really enjoying my Mark II Slabside Competition. I have dissambled and reassembled approximately half a dozen times now and have it down pretty good. Except (there is always an Except isn't there) sometimes I seem to have inserted the mainspring/bolt assembly incorrectly. So although everything goes together well, two things do not do so well.
1. I do not get the small amount of tension/resistance during the final insertion of the mainspring into its housing (it just slips into place)
and 2. The bolt will not pull all the way out in order to cock the hammer. I fudge around with it blindly for a few tries and will eventually get everything put together correctly, but I'm not sure what is the cause of the miss-assembly.
I'm suspect that it has something to do with the hammer strut and its relationship to the hooked end of the mainspring assembly but I'm not sure.
The Ruger re-assembly video does address the importance of having that small bit of resistance during the last bit of insertion of the mainspring but he never specifies the cause of it and how to achieve the tension.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Thanks folks,
Alan
