After helping a friend out with a "jammed" Ruger MKIII(that she started to disassemble and has been a box for a year or more), I am wonder just how many Ruger .22's are out there, across the country, in a similar condition? She started to take down the gun for cleaning, but did not make sure it was uncocked. This, along with countless other guns that owners probably had problems with regarding disassembly, reassembly, etc, might make for a large number. Ruger designed a great gun; accurate, rugged, a real workhorse of a pistol. But, Ruger was not John Browning, and user friendly or simplistic they are not. It takes close attention to the instructions, a little mechanical aptitude, and a little practice and luck to get a Ruger .22 pistol together or apart. Anyone else want to fess up to having cussed a Ruger, spent hours putting one back together, taken one to a gunsmith to get it right, or still have one sitting in a drawer or closet jammed or in pieces?
