For disassembly, you will need a soft-faced hammer, a 1/8 inch Allen wrench, a non-marring dowel (brass, nylon, or wood), and safety glasses. Ensure all tools are appropriate for firearm maintenance to avoid damage.

How do you safely remove the bolt from the Ruger Precision Rimfire?

First, ensure the rifle is unloaded. Then, depress the bolt catch located on the side of the rifle. While holding the catch down, pull the bolt assembly fully to the rear until it detaches from the action.

Ruger does not recommend further disassembly of the trigger group itself. The provided instructions cover removing the trigger group from the barreled action, but internal trigger group components should generally be left untouched.
