Gentlemen, please! Spurn WHOM you may. And don't neglect the semicolon when a run-on sentence is the alternative.

You made me look up “embouchure”… You nailed it!

Two demerits for me: whom, not who. Wished I’d made that mistake on purpose. Drives English teachers and grammarians insane. Where should I have put my semicolon? It’s rare for me to neglect any portion of my colon. 8-O

Back to the task at hand, this is a really good explanation of what’s going on inside a Ruger Mk I, II, III when field stripping and reassembling.

Didn't Otto von Bismarck once say that one should never witness the process of laws or sausage being made or a Ruger being reassembled?

You piqued my curiosity, and this turned up.

“The Daily Cleveland Herald, Mar. 29, 1869, quoting the lawyer-poet John Godfrey Saxe that “Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.”

Must have been OvB that added the Ruger part. I have seen law being made up close and personal. I’ll take (Cajun) boudin —while watching “Ruger assembly videos” — all night, every day of the week.

Nice video. Obviously, the Mk IV is much easier to assemble/disassemble. Well done on Ruger.

Rugers are great beginner BE guns and great for HM too. My PB with a mkii govt is 889 many years ago. I recently shot a couple Rugers and enjoyed them immensely. Had a nice 100-9 with a mkiii I did a trigger job on. Just picked up an mkii govt and shot a 95 & 96 SF on my first two targets after getting it.
They really only need a trigger job to be competitive. As I stated elsewhere, I’d use a Ruger my log before shooting an SP.

My copy of American Rifleman arrived this afternoon. As I was casually browsing it, I spotted a small ad saying "reassemble correctly every time". Price was $16 for the necessary part from:

HammerStrutSupport.com

I never thought this was much of a problem, but from the threads here on TT, I guess you're a bunch of spazz boys.

Sounds a lot like Viagra. Or maybe an implant.
