I was pulling the trigger on my Ruger Security Six a few moments ago, when the trigger failed to reset itself after the hammer snapped forward. I could move it with my fingers to give it a little help. I could pull the trigger and the action would go through again but the trigger would still hold in the back of the trigger guard and not spring forward.
I started trying to take it apart....made a mess...got it halfway broken down thinking I could easily put it back together (hearing that Rugers and Smiths were simpler than Colts)....I have the hammer out, some pin that appeared when I took the grips off, some little thing, the bar that the hammer swings on, the main spring out of hte gun. The trigger, bolt and everything below that point is still in place and I can't even get to those parts. This gun doesn't seem to have a sideplate like S&Ws adn Colts
Any blueprints out there I can use to get this thing back together?
Also, what could the problem be.
Ruger fixes these things for free, but I don't want to send it off if this is a question of simple powder buildup or something else I can do myself.
Thank you
