Did it come with a manual? Field strip it and clean it. There is a certainp way the gun has to be held to get the main spring in position for the lever to work. You tube has videos if this very thing.

Carefully take it apart, review the parts. There are several videos on YouTube on how to take it apart and reassemble it.

Error in reassembley. The hammer strut did not seat correctly in the mainspring cup and the strut bottoms out about halfway through its travel. When you reassemble it make sure of 2 things:
A- the hammer is cocked. B- tip the pistol muzzle upward about 45 degrees when you go to close the takedown lever, it will help guide the hammer strut into the mainspring cup correctly. Pull the trigger while you are lifting the takedown lever, if the hammer is locked back it won't let the lever fully unlock. You may even have to hold the pistol upside down and muzzle down to let the hammer come forward and the strut come free of the lever. |

Sounds like the hammer strut wasn't aligned correctly, when the mainspring was put back in.
The hammer will need to be moved forward to get the mainspring undone. You will need top pull the trigger and hit the muzzle into a block of wood to use inertia to move the hammer. This is the method that ruger will tell you to use, and a method that is mentioned on some of the trouble shooting sites out there. They are definitely a little quirky, but once you do it a time or two its not a big deal.

there is no way to take it apart. the lever with the pin can NOT be rotated out of the grip far enough to pull the pin out of the frame, barrel, bolt.

Thanks guys, the pulling the trigger while pullingthe lever worked. I heard something click, and it opened as it should.
I was sure to get it back together correctly. Fucntion check good. I just had magazine disconnects.

You need to get the mkii bushing. Simple installation and gets rid of the stupid magazine disconnect. Makes taking the gun down and putting it back together much easier.
