I went and did it now.

I forgot about the magazine disconnecter on the MkIII.

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.

Thanks for the help. It is much appreciated. I'll work on the rest tomorrow eveing, and see where it goes from there.

I just fixed it. I wasn't sure about some of the alignements, and that spring at the hammer strut gave me a fit, but I got it. It works proper now. Anybody want to buy a 22/45? Naw, now that I can figure it out, I think I'll keep it. But it isn't going to get cleaned as often as my 1911, that's for sure. Run a patch down the barrel, some Ballistol, and I'm done. I'm not going to break it down for a thorough cleaning except for every several hundred rounds. What a PIA!

Been there done that.When I bought mine my local funstore owner repeatedly told me not to take it apart as they are a real bitch to get back together and it is the # 1 gun that comes back to him in a paper bag in pieces.I figured I would just pull the bolt out to clean it and that's when the panic set in.My wife laughed as I repeatedly tried to get it back together after watching every youtube video I could find.I refused to be one of those guys walking in with it in pieces.Since then I use an Otis cleaning system to keep from taking it apart.Glad you got everything working.
