they can be a tough one to deal with but after you do it once properly it will be second nature, post a pic, we will get you set up!

This first pic shows the hammer strut wanting to come out after I pulled the release lever. At this point, it is very tight to come any further.
This picture shows the bolt pulled out. It is not locked, but will close with a smack of your hand. Not good. Here is a close up of the open bolt. Another view of the open bolt. And here you see the safety is on, indicating the gun is cocked, and the hammer is up. The Armorer's video warns not to attempt to remove the hammer spring with the hammer up, or you will damage the strut, and not be able to remove it, or put it back. But when I pull the trigger, nothing. So I assume it is not going into full battery, or something is binding at bolt and hammer.

Upon closer inspection, I notice the bolt not closing all the way, keeping it from going into battery, and not being able to lower the hammer. These next two pics indicate this.

Sorry I was chuckling within the second sentence. I knew what happened. Xiao I first got mine and done The same thing it took me forever to get it back together. After several hours of messing with and when I finally got it functioning properly I had the pistol sold very quickly.

simple fix
pul out the back of the handle, turn it upside down setting it on a table. shine a light inside. the thick wedge shaped thing needs to pull up towards you. this can be achieved by setting the gun upright and pulling it down with a dental pick. shine a light into that area. you will see a thin rod / stamped piece of spring steel. That was up into the bolt area. It needs to come down to allow the wedge to go all the way up. that spring steel will also come down with the dental pick. if not go ahead and drive out the pin till it falls down. If needed re insert the pin, making sure to hold that spring steel piece from going up. push wedge upward into the bolt area reinsert the back of handle making sure the spring steel piece fits into the springed detent on the back of handle lever. if needed use leather mallet to drive pin all the way up. then insert back of handle close back of handle latch. belive it or not mkII was so much easier. this mkiii is a pain in the boooot

![]() It sounds like your hammer strut missed the opening of the main spring. It takes a couple times to get the hang of it..... IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY REASSEMBLING THE PISTOL, HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS! If the hammer strut does not contact the plunger inside the mainspring housing as it is swung shut, it will either be impossible to close the housing, or the housing will close but the bolt cannot be fully opened without binding. Make sure strut is free, hammer is uncocked, and repeat steps 6-11, above. If the mainspring housing pulls out of the gun when swung in, the barrel/ receiver assembly is not fully rearward on the frame. Repeat step 3, above. Remember that it is essential that the hammer must be in its vertical, uncocked, position as the mainspring housing is swung shut. If the housing is excessively difficult to close, the hammer is probably cocked. Repeat steps 7-12, above. The foregoing may give the impression that reassembly is difficult, but it is quickly and easily done once properly learned. I don't have one anymore, but I remember having the same issues. I doubt you hurt anything. Good luck. Greg

I don't think I'm fully grasping this. I see a little coil spring inside the lever to remove the hammer strut. Is that the spring I need to remove? I can't move anything, but I do know that with the strut in place, the bolt sticks, but when I pull the lever out, the bolt releases. I don't see a wedge.
