3 screw assembly

[bobo1972]

Well I was just given a 3 screw single six. Issue is it is in parts. I am looking for some help on the assembly. I am in Canada so sending it somewhere is both costly and a hassel. If there is anyone out there who can help me with the how to and propper order of assembly it would be appreciated. Would have to do this through a phone conversation or theough pics.

I will email you a copy of the owner's manual, downloaded courtesy of "Steve's pages." A schematic off of Brownell's website:

Unfortunately the schematic has a transfer bar system, but it's pretty close. Review these items and it will likely set you on the path to successful re-assembly!

That's a nice gift someone gave you. Get it together and enjoy!

Here is a link to the instruction manual for a Three Screw Single Six from the Ruger web page.

Bobo, Welcome to the forum. Here is an old post which covers this topic. If you get into trouble feel free to PM or e-mail me. Other than the pesky little cylinder latch spring, the old models are a piece of cake to assemble. Hopefully the mainspring parts are still together, if not there are tips on how to do this.

Welcome to the forum!

Here's some videos for assembly & disassembly of a NM but with the other sources offered you'll readily see the differences. The OMs are easier.
