[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 766302, member: 39764"] I use a long straight pick to move the hammer where I want it. All the guns I work on never succumb to the pull of gravity hammer wise. I've actually dipped the assembled bolt in light oil and dried ot off with a towel. Rugers like oil. With brake cleaner you just have to be sure to remove the grip panels or nasty things happen. The brake cleaner don't work on the moulded grip frames, one reason I don't like them. The latest one I redid for a customer looked as though it had a couple thousand cycles. New everything including the extractor, firing pin and pin spring plus the usual trigger stuff and a titanium disconnect. Other than the scuffed bolt it shoots fantastic. Pulls at 1.5 pounds. The internals were so cruddy I had to soak it (barrel and bolt) in Gumout carburetor cleaner for a day and then use a toothbrush and brake cleaner. It amazes me that when I get a well used Ruger 22, no matter how bad the internals are, the barrel and rifling is always just fine. I really don't like working on them. The parts are so small and all the internals only go in one way or the sucker won't cycle. My personal target pistols, I never take apart except for the dunk routine and a re oiling. So much easier to work on Chargers........:D [/QUOTE]
