I'm trying to replace the trigger on a ruger standard, and the pivot pin won't come out. I haven't beaten on it yet because it looks like there is some sort of ring on it. I found this post

Hi, Trebor,
That business about easier disassembly was referring only to removal of the trigger pin. On the old models, the pin was held in by an E ring inside the frame. A special tool or a thin screwdriver was required to remove it and it was easily lost. Plus people who didn't know better tried to drive out the pin and bent the frame.
The Mk II uses a spring wire in a notch, which allows the pin to be tapped out and reinserted without a special tool.
The field stripping of the old and newer guns is identical and, IMHO, not that hard.
