this is what I've learned after a few headaches putting together my pistol over the years
this Ruger has the volquartsen and sugar kit and the magazine disconnector removed
step 1 put the hammer down
#2 REATTACH THE BARREL
#3 insert bolt, if it doesn't go in put your finger in the back and push the hammer down so the bolt can slide freely into the receiver
#4 WITH THE GUN POINTED DOWN PULL THE TRIGGER AND USE SOMETHING TO PUSH THE HAMMER IN THE FULLY UPRIGHT POSITION HOLD ON
#5 reinsert the piece that goes in the back and make sure the pin goes fully through the trigger housing and receiver and bolt. if it's hard to push all the way through the hammer is not pushed all the way up
#6 now turn the gun into the upright position with your finger off the trigger now fully pressing that piece in the back and close the little pin that you open to take it apart
now your gun should be fully assembled correctly and ready to shoot
be safe and shoot straight
and remember always triple check your firearm
always point in a safe direction
and never have ammunition close by while you're cleaning or working on your firearms
