Help! Can't re-assemble my Sig 228!

[SAB215]

So I took it mostly apart to clean out the inside, and now I'm stuck. I'm trying to put the de-cocker back on, but when I go to function test it doesn't work.

There isn't a clear video on youtube and now I'm getting that "totally fucked" feeling.

Did you take a look at the "how to" at Sig specific forums?

[SAB215]

Nvm, found a great video finally.

Thanks, though

Kudos to you. Never broke mine passed the pin fearing the same predicament. Let us know how it works out!

Turns out I just couldn't find that sweet spot when putting the hammer spring assembly back together.

Man, didn't realize the PITA Sigs are to disassemble.

Oh, here's the video I found that really helped. Quality is clear and bright.

If you have an iPhone, iPod or iPad., download a free app called Gun Disassembly 2. Shows step by step how to tear down and rebuild a 228. Great app.

Never remove the grips of a SIG pistol, the innards are held in place by the grips, if you want to clean it just blow it out with some action cleaner.

...Not even true. Trust me, I just experienced the inside of a Sig for about 2 hours.

Where in the hell did you come up with this? Unless you're talking about the thumb safety on the SAO models?

I had the same thing happen to me back in the 90s when I bought mine. I wasn't as lucky to have the resources we do now, so I took my 220 and did a "stare-and-compare".
