    I know the pistol shoots great, but the take down and reassembly is a pita. I saw this easy take down kit, has anyone ever installed one?

    Reassembly is greatly simplified if you point the muzzle strait up when reattaching the frame to the barrel.

    I stopped shooting my 22/45 because it was such a PITA to re-assemble. Had my son out shooting and used the 22/45 to orientate him to shooting a semi-auto pistol. Dreaded cleaning it but did it anyways. I was amazed that it went back together without a hitch. I got it back to together and thought that I couldn't have gotten that easy. I wish I could remember what the heck I had done. I think it had to do with what hatidua said.
    I'll stop buying black rifles when my wife stops buying black shoes.

    Same boat but Mark II. I tried muzzle up, videos, email advice, etc. I think it's just luck when I finally get it. It shouldn't be that hard.

    Once you learn to take it down and re-assemble it, it is easier and faster than taking down an AR-15.
    I stopped shooting mine a couple of years ago when reasonable priced ammo disappeared. Currently it is cheaper for me to shoot 9mm than the NEW prices for 22lr.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    I friend has that easy assembly kit, or what ever it's called, and swears by it. I seem to love the agony and won't buy one.

    Let me help you guys.... If you read the Ruger manual and follow the directions- it's a snap.

    I just installed a Volquartsen trigger, sear and magazine disconnect in mine. I did have to back up a couple times to make sure that everything went together right, but I have found that familiarity helps a lot. I used to shoot the pistol rarely and avoid taking it apart. But now that I have a suppressor for it, I shoot it almost every range trip and the more I disassemble and assemble it, the easier it gets. Here is the video I did of replacing the parts:


    The gun shoots even better now and the magazines actually eject without hanging up.

    thanks for posting this, nice job on the video. I think I'm gonna do the same to mine. I like your idea to get rid of that pesky bolt release spring.
