Assembling the Bolt of a Ruger Mark 2 Gun

Video Transcript

"Alright. Here's our lower receiver, upper receiver put back together. We're going to take our bolt. Now one thing to remember is inside this area, was your hammer. Now if I kind of glance in there I notice that my hammer's down in the down position. So I know that my bolt will slide in and its going to fit just fine. But, if you're to slide this bolt back in and it were to stop right here and it would go in maybe half inch, that would mean that hammer was up, but I can tell that that hammer's down so I'm just going to slide that bolt right back in. And this is when I just kind of go over I make sure that I'm not feeling any kind of major hiccups or snags and I'm not feeling any. And then I do basically an eyeball check for this step for this bolt as I reinsert this bolt. If you look right here on the top of the firearm, you'll see where your bolt pin stop which is this goes into and slides up through this whole area here and I'm just going to look down the top and I'm going to make sure that the hole in the upper receiver, the hole in the top of my bolt and the hole in the bottom of my lower receiver all match up. I'm going to take a look here. We're looking pretty good. Alright, next step is we're going to reinsert the main spring housing."
