One of the few disadvantages of the Ruggles guns and lots of other guns is the fact , that lots of residues from the priming enter the action / lock . Therefore it is necessary to clean this from time to time , in my case once a month after about 200 shots ( I like to have my guns clean ! ) . For this reason , today I've made a goodie , which I wanted for long - a spring vice for easening disassembly . I made mine from some scrap brass and cold hammered it after filing . What makes shot shells brittle and hard should also do with my vice ,
where some stiffness is needed to prevent warp when handling some stiff springs . The use of brass should also prevent scratches on spring / frame .
