[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1246290, member: 10001"] I used to have a Ruger and it is tricky, no question about it. I would pull the trigger to make sure that the hammer was down, pull the spring assembly lever to get the unit out, push the pin that goes through the upper receiver down. I would use something soft to tap the upper off the frame and done. On the way back the trick is to make sure that the hammer is in the fired position and that the hammer strut is free to swing. The strut can be caught by a frame pin and not be free to swing. If that happens it means that the hammer is not all the way forward and you need to get it forward by pushing it while pulling the trigger. If you hold the gun muzzle up you will see the hammer strut hanging down. In that position, if you push the spring assembly pin through the upper and start moving the spring assembly towards the frame, you will see the hammer strut aligning with the spring and you are almost there. The only thing that can interfere with closing the assembly is if the pin is not all the way up in the upper receiver. Push it up till it looks like it used to before the operation and everything will fall in place. At least that's the way I remember it. [/QUOTE]
