A friend of mine jamed the main spring on his ruger mk 1 while trying to dissaembly it. He asked me if I could help him out, but while freeing the main spring the pin that holds the sear and sear spring fell out. Then i really had a brain fart. I decided that to put the sear back in I would have to remove the hammer and saftey catch. Then while doing this I lost the trigger spring plunger. Now I have a pile of parts and am unable to get it back together. At this point I'm pretty desperate to get this thing back together, and to find a replacement trigger spring plunger. Can anyone help me out with info,pics,videos on how to reassemble the the sear hammer saftry catch assembly. Also anyone know where I can fing a replacement trigger spring plunger? I'm really desperate any help woukld be really appreciated.:(

Here is the Canadian repair depot and source of Ruger parts. They have given me great service.
You should be able to find diagrams in a search on the web.

My first handgun ( many years ago ) was a Ruger Mark 1. I took it home & took it apart to clean it. The next day I took a frame and a bag of parts back to the store & they put it back together for me. I remember that one trick at a certain point was to hold the gun upside down to get things to line up.

Good luck.

Do they service ruger products or just sell parts?

And hold your tongue in the right way. Ive taken 3 days to get one together, there is a trick for sure
 
Brownells has exploded parts views of Ruger rifles on their website. You can get the part numbers for them if you want. You may also be able to figure out how to put it back together from the diagrams. Has worked for me a couple of times in the past.

Check youtube. That's how I got mine back together

I've tried youtube, the best I could find was a video on the MK 2. Has far as I can tell the only thing hanging me up right now is the sear/sear spring. witch way dose the sear spring go in? the video I found shows everything except puting the sear/sear spring in.
 
I also have a MkI and years ago I stripped it down, then couldn't get the damn thing back together either, lol. This was before internet & utube so I called Ruger and they mailed me a manual. Back then, mail was a lot slower and long distance calls were a lot higher ;)

Finally got it figured out last night, thanks for all the help.

Glad you got it together. It is a b!tch eh? I have a MK I and the manual (which did a poor job of the reassembly instructions imo) but still had to resort to Youtube. Now it has been so long since I tore it apart I'll probably have to look it up again!
