OK folks.

I just got a ruger mk3 and while I was trying to disassemble it I continued to run into problems. First off the mainspring pin thingy didn't want to come out but a little work with a punch and its free.

Then the bolt absolutely refused to come out like the yahoo on YouTube and the manual showed me.

I finally knocked out several pins and wiggled the bolt assembly out only to find the receiver stuck..I mean stuck to the frame and before I start beating on it is there anything I should know.

Merry Christmas
