Ruger Mini 14 disassembly

[Tbolt]

Hi All

Does the hammer of the Mini 14 have to be cocked in order to remove the trigger group?

To disassemble the Mini-30 - "...pull the slide handle all the way to the rear and release. Make sure safety is ON. NOTE: Hammer must be cocked and safety must be ON to accomplish disassembly and reassembly..."

Should be the same for the Mini-14 ??

It is.
