Ruger MKII Disassembly & Reassembly
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007
All I need is a large paper clip.
Pointing muzzle up/down and pulling the trigger is the key for reassembling.
You can consult a Ruger’s instruction manual for details.

Here is a summary of reassenbling I got from gunsworld com.
1. Be certain pistol is free of cartridges! Safety must be in “F″ position.
2, Place hammer in horizontal(cocked) position, keep finger off trigger.
3. Place barrel receiver on top of frame so that the square lug engages the square front recess on the underside of the receiver. Push barrel rearward until it stops, with the rear of the receiver slightly over-hanging the rear end of the grip frame. If the alignment can’t be achieved by hand pressure, strike the front of the barrel with a plastic or wood mallet, being careful not to damage the muzzle.
