This video saved my ass. I was cleaning it and accidentally let the hammer slam forward. It bent the ejector roll pin, sent the ejector flying and the hammer spring came off the hammer. I was about to send it to ruger but I found your video. Gun is back together and working great. Loved this video. Great job!
I broke the firing pin on mine just a few days ago. Called Ruger and they are sending a new pin and spring. Glad to see your video! I think I can save some gunsmithing costs thanks to your great video! Nicely done.
I sent mine in, they have great customer service. I fired mine brand new and it wouldn’t eject the cartridge and also it wouldn’t load the cartridge properly
Got one of these for a Cerakote job. Customer wanted the slide and all the fire controls matched in color, so trigger and safety levers had to come out. Excellent video, sir. I will note that I had zero issues with the safely lever roll pin. Came out with ease on the gun I did.
Great video. Just used for the bellator short stroke trigger install from Galloway. Major regret. Will use again to reinstall the factory trigger and trade for the M&P 57 or an F&N. Thanks!
49:14 & 55:45 - Thanks! Struggled with these...Had the lever in once, after 30 mins of trying...then it eventually came out again, and another 30 mins went by trying but couldn't get it in again...then looked for & found your vid. Then even after getting the lever in, and slide back on, could NOT get the lever to turn, until whatever I did differently the 38th time, and then it turned. ugh. Will watch the rest as some other point but just needed that help for now.
Is there supposed to be a roll pin on the right side of the ejector as well? Having issues with the ejector falling out causing the hammer spring to fall out.
This needs way more views by way more 57 owners. I had to send in mind because the ejector pin came out and the hammer decided not to stay where it should have. Ejector pin fell out during field strip last night. This is pathetic.
Job well done. Thank you very much for a true 100% teardown. I haven't done 100% tear down yet but I end up losing mag takedown spring so I had to make a new one. Not the easiest thing to do without the old one as a pattern.
Definitely goin apeshit cause that sr9c is probably the best pistol ruger will ever design. The 57 definitely took some design from the sr9 chasis system is almost identical
The trigger on my Ruger 57 will not reset. I have studied this video closely, but I do not see anything specific relating to the trigger reset. Before I start taking it apart without any ideas of what to look for, I was hoping you or someone would post a trigger rest specific video.
Great video except... I can't get the hammer to catch on the sear after assembly. I've redone it several times and it doesn't want to seem to push back all the way so it will catch the hammer... I'm pretty sure the parts are going back together the right way. Any ideas?
You've probably found an answer by now, but the trigger bar spring probably needs to be replaced. If it's not providing enough tension upward on the trigger bar, the trigger bar will just slip off of the contact point with the sear and float downward in that channel on the fire control insert.
Hey I’m sure you won’t respond but I took my 5.7 apart and pulled the trigger something fell off when I put it together I rack it and pull the trigger no click or anything any help ?
Can you make a video of adjusting the FRONT sight? Please. Its too far to the left by .003" or so. I Used a sight pusher but felt it was gonna break it b4 it would move any. It's supposedly a Novak (sp?) SIGHT dovetail but like I said...it refused to move. Is it glued in place? Do I need to heat up the slide with a hair dryer? Please Help!!!
Can you remove the extractor without removing the firing pin, I'm wanting to paint my slide because I live in humid Florida and I'm sure you know that carbon steel slide will rust if you breath on it
I didn’t I actually unenrolled from it I just didn’t have the time to mess with it anymore. Overall it was a good starter program and I recommend it being it’s pretty good info and a good price
