I believe the thingy is the shell extractor.

Pretty good description, certainly much better than the drawing that comes with the manual.  I did it fairly quickly.  I think you may need to clarify how to put the hammer spring in... i knew intuitively to put it under the bolt pin and align the bent part with the bolt lock, but it might help others to fully explain it.  I didn't see where you were supposed to put the magazine lock pin back in place, but it's fairly easy to do at the end. 


I'd give it a 9/10

I don't like that I had to register to see the close-up pictures, but I guess that comes with the territory.  Only I had everything disassembled at that point so I had little choice but to register to figure out how to put it back together!

 Thank you very very much for adding this.  I bought my first gun, a Ruger 10/22 Carbonite Rifle, and was taking it apart to learn how it works - including the trigger. After hours of googling and youtubing, couldn't find a very good video.  This is perfect - my fault for not checking Instructibles.com first :)

Thanks much mate!
