This is the smartest breakdown of the Ruger Mark III that I have seen BRILLIANT. Thank you so much for a great explanation. Certainly worthy of this fine gun. This dispells the other attemps at explaining this really simple process. Only 4 steps to field strip this gun and in Less than 30 seconds. Take it down with time to spare and NO tools other than maybe a paper clip. 60 seconds to put it back together and no paper clip😏 Thanks Great Job Ruger are you watching?

I was ready to pay a gunsmith to save my wife's MK3 until I saw this video. I went through hours of frustration and 3 instructional videos, with no luck. That was including the Ruger dude and the 16 second dude. Your hammer up and hanging dingus steps saved the day. You are awesome!

This has to be the best and simplest way to re-assemble the Mark III. Thank you very much for making this video, and spending 20min to figure out the simplest way. My Mark III is 8yrs old and still a little tight because I rarely shoot it. I can count with 3 fingers how many times I shot this firearm🙃only because of the re-assembly being such a PITA, if fact I almost sold it because of that, but decided to keep it. Now I'm so glad I did thanks to your video! Very, Very Good Job on this Video Asha E. 👍👍👍

Stumbled across your video recently. I have struggled with reassembly of my MK III 22/5 for 6 years. Tried this immediately. Worked perfectly. Thanks.

Asah, Goodman, dissambled and reblued my Mark III, was ready to use it as a gooes decoy achor. Watched numerous re-assemble video's with limied success. Came across yours, and it was the ticket to get that pistol back together. Turning the pistol up as your described and compress the spring was the ticket. Thank You Much...

My Ruger is from the early 1970s. I called it my shoe string disassembly. I just looped a string around the lever to pull it out, not your screw driver pry out. I still have it today.

I can't believe this video has ANY thumbs down. This makes assembly incredibly simple. I spent 2 decades having to step through the dozen steps in the Ruger manual to reassemble my Mark 2. After watching this video, I can do so from memory in about 5 seconds. Thank you!!!!!!

To fix the hammer, too far forward, just insert the mag and the hammer can be moved back or anywhere you want.

Това е най разбираемото и най правилно обучаемо видео за разглобяване и сглобяване на Марк 3. От тук се научих да разглобявам и сглобявам пистолета си за броени секунди без никакъв проблем, защото тука е показано и обяснено в какво положение трябва да е чука и положението на лоста му спрямо отверстието на бойната пружина.

I got so frustrated that I threw all the parts into a shoe box and took it in to my smith. When he lifted the lid and saw it, he laughed and said that he gets about one or two a month that show up in a box. He then showed me how to reassemble it and some small tricks, just like you did here. He never charged me a cent either. Nice video. Shame on Ruger for making it so difficult.

Not a polished presentation with drawings and photos but ... The best explaination, demonstration yet. Thank you. 👍

The part about the mag release and the hammer being/staying vertical was outstanding. A necessary addition to many other videos. Good job. Thanks.

As much as I love my Mark III that disassembly isn't too tough but reassembly can be a frigging nightmare. That is why mine has had the kit put in it that solves the problem. Now one allen wrench and no problems. Of course it figures that after years of that faulty design, after I buy mine, the Mark IV comes out with the new improvements.

Asah, I have watched all the videos and how to reassemble this gun and have found yours to be the easiest of all. There are many ways to do this, but yours works the best for me. I saved it to watch every time I reassemble mine. Thanks for taking the time to record this for us who don't shoot the same gun all the time and need a refresher some times.

A MILLION THANK YOUS FROM THE YEAR 2021!!! ✨🙏🏽✨

Thanks a ton for being the shortest most concise video on how to assemble/re-assemble the Mark III. The only part I struggled with was the dang dingus, once I finally got it, I practiced your technique a couple of times and made sure I understood from your video where the dingus needed to be and was able to get the dingus in the right place every time. Practice is key at least for me. I have a Mark IV too and Ruger really improved the take down of the Mark series handguns with the Mark IV. However, the Mark III is not hard to get apart and put back together as long as you learn the correct way to do it and Asah E., you nailed it.

Best video on this subject. I got to this video every time! Thank you!

Sir, I don't know if you still look at the comments after all this time, but you helped me out immensely. Thank you so much for this video. Just got my Mark 3 today and want to learn the gun. Disassembly no problem, assembly was a bitch until your video. If I could, I would buy you a bottle of fine Bourbon for your help.

Everyone told me that was a pain in the but to disassembly the MARK III, with your video it was as simple as my 1911, thanks a lot.

ASAh thank you so much for the method to get my gun assembled. It worked and I Appreciate you posting this process..

Great Job on the video sir. I love my Mark III. Don't shoot it as much as I like to because the take down is (or was) such a pain. You made it simple in your explanation. Thank you.

Thanks for the help! The magazine release lever is never explained in other vids.

Had my Mark III Hunter for several years. Still get frustrated with re-assembly. Issue is always the hammer. It does not move smoothly, Your video is my go to. You provide an alternate technique that is very helpful. Still my favorite pistol. It shoots so well that I’ll keep it. I did however, buy my daughter the Mark IV. Thanks for the video.

Great job. Best way to do it hands down. Good job bro!

Nice video. another way to do it. it seems like i use this gun once a year and clean it after use so it's always a learning experience. I took my time this time without my factory instructions. i leave the barrel off to see what was happening a little bit better. what i learned tonite what the problem i was having was when putting the main spring housing back in the hammer would be in the way to allow the top of the main spring housing to continue to pivot in and also keeping the dowl completely in the hole. to correct this you pull the trigger while continuing to push the main spring housing all the way in and keeping in all the way while also paying attention to the orientation of the gun to keep the lever out and away from the pin to line up with grove in main spring housing.

Thanks for the vid. This has been the only time I did not have to struggle getting it back together.

Nice video. You not only helped me understand what to do, but why it works that way.

Thank you!!. I watched 2-3 other video's and was about to give up in frustration before I came to yours where you provided a great tip for the final assembly. I will definitely watch again after my next cleaning!!

Great video,the only thing I would add is instead of using a screwdriver to open the lever and take a chance of scratching up your gun I use an empty .22 case or a paper clip slipped over it and pull out. On a new gun I (very carefully) used a dead blow hammer. Like he said after taken apart a few times you probably won’t need it. It’s like pouring piss out of a boot. It ain’t that hard,just turn it upside down. The directions is on the heel. This video did make the task a whole lot easier. GOD BLESS!!!!! SHOOT SAFE!!!!!

Video was great. I followed step-by-step and all went very smoothly with my Mark 3. Thanks for offering these condensed, and clear, instructions.

Thank you so much. This has simplified the Ruger Mark Series disassembly and reassembly.

Thanks! You made a royal pain into a fairly easy task.

Best video I’ve seen. Your technique actually works. Thank you

Excellent, excellent video. I fight with my MK3 every time I take it apart. This video made it simple. Thanks!

Outstanding video. I just tried it and it worked flawlessly. Ty very much!!!

Great video. This is the best way yet.

Thank you for the great info.

The "dingus" is the hammer strutt, and I have had lots of trouble with it and didn't know that the mk111 could be put together this way but the next time I clean my pistol, I'm going to give this method a try.

Wow great explanation

Interesting. Your method of assembly is a little different then what I do. I have never seen it done ur way but I like it. Completely different but seems to work better with much less hassle.

To get spring tension you can also just press the trigger in to push back the "dingus"

That was VERY WELL done! Thank you very much. I am aware the pistol is difficult to break down and reassemble, and I'm sure I will be revisiting this video often!

These videos would be better if there was no talking. Thanks for the info. Just fired 5k rounds through a can and now it malfunctions every shot. This was a big help thanks

Excellent instructional video! Thanks for sharing!!

It's a key for the internal safety. If you watch the ruger mark 111 video from ruger, about 50 seconds into the video it shows it.

Excellent video on the Mark disassembly.

Very interesting, I will try this.

Excellent, Thank You!!!!

best vid I've seen on this subject!

Nice. Thank you

Great video. much easier to understand.

This was an excellent video. Thanks.

Thank you Asah E, I was about to sell my Mark III for cheap and buy the new Mark IV

"A DIngus"....Always wondered what that thing hanging down there was called.

Awesome!

Very Good !

Terrific ! A lot easier.

A new way that looks easier to assemble.

I cannot fit the main spring housing into the dowel for the life of me and I am about to sell my gun, I followed all the steps is there anything else you would suggest

I am not an experienced pistol owner, so please excuse this question if it's ignorant: I thought it was not a good idea to 'dry-fire' a rimfire pistol. Is it a bad idea to pull the trigger on this gun if it's empty? Should a snapcap or something like that be used when pulling the trigger to start the dis-assembly process?

Do you need the safety key to disassemble the mark3?

I don't see why they can't make a 22lr pistol that works like a normal pistol. The only one on the market that I know of is the Jennings or Jimenez arms 22lr.

Dude done good 👍 Watched a couple of videos before this...not helpful Had it together before this vid. Ended!

Wow, $350! good deal

Awesome.or just get a mark 4 there fucking amazing

lol"... after you said "im going to do this off camera because its a pain in the ass" thats all i needed to know not to get this pistol.

mình rất muốn mua lại khẩu súng này của bạn,bạn có thể bán cho tôi không vậy

Volume is too low. Hard to hear you

I am glad you like your gun . As for myself this is a piece of shit to me. Not sure why they made it so had to take apart. I will never buy another ruger auto gun again. I have a ruger 10 shot revolver and its a great gun better than the piece of SHIT gun from ruger. !

Cut the crap, there is no easy way!

if your going to make video ----do it right -----no excuses--- why even make video ?

Lots of history…. Get to work

Dude … you should have dropped your magazine and pulled back the slide before you even started your video . Very dangerous
