Ruger Mark 4 lite

**joeyj** · June 27th, 2020, 03:02 PM

I cleaned my mark 4 this morning. I bought this pistol because it disassembled easily, well now I can get the ********* back together. I didn't move or change anything but it just won't go the last 16th of an inch and lockup. The word stupid doesn't cover what I feel now. Any suggestions besides superglue will be appreciated. Joe

I don't own that model. (Mark iii owner here) is the hammer cocked?

Just googled, make sure the safety is engaged. Total Ruger move.

I just found out, and Ruger has an awesome all help site. I spoke to the technician and he said I must've pulled the trigger when the gun was a part, and the hammer was sticking up. All I needed to do was push it down until it disappeared. Problem solved. Joe

I did Google it and nothing came up. I went to the Google website, and found they have a place in North Carolina with technical support. I called the guy picked up right away, knew exactly what my problem was and how to fix it. The hardest part was trying to put it together and holding on the phone. Three hands would've helped a great deal.

Speaker phone helps there. Glad it is fixed
