Can't wait to get it!

 

(Of course, I have to wait, but that's OK)

I heard these are a b***h to clean.  Just bought a 22/45 that I can't wait to pick up, but am not looking forward to taking apart lol.

Watch a youtube video on it.  Its really not that bad after you do it a few times

I love my MkIII.  I can tell you from experience that the extractor in it sucks.  I have a lot of rounds through mine and may have just worn it our.  If yours ever start stovepipeing a lot look up the exact edge extractor.  By the time you need it you should be a pro at striping and cleaning.  Changing the extractor is easy once you get good at the field strip part.

I actually got lucky with the ss one I just bought it literally falls apart when I pull the pin out and the mag also shoots right out no problems with the disconector at all. It came apart so easily I was worried something was wrong and went though the whole gun making sure it was actually tight when together. This gun shoots great and can be very acurate depending on ammo. With the fed bulk I was scattering around the target but with some agula Eley my grouping was very tight for a newby with handguns..LOL.

Also there seems to be alot of threads over on rimfire centeral about the stovepiping being caused by the loaded chamber indicator as well.

Even an FFL gets to have some fun. Here is mine. 6.88 inch slab sided bull barrel, thumb rest grips. I also have a 22/45 Mark 4 with a threaded barrel, custom comp and dot. Great competition pistols.

Great gun! My MKIII was the 2nd gun I bought and I was thoroughly intimidated by the process of taking it down and reassembly. Don't let it frustrate you and take your time during reassembly. I do a field-strip and cleaning every 1k-2k rounds. The last time around I didn't even have to reference the manual or YouTube videos to successfully get it back together!

      I have a Ruger 22 Mark III that I have been having problems with. I had other issues that I resolved by replacing the hammer bushing, loaded chamber indicator, and extractor with parts from Volquartsen.
       
      The issue I have is failure to feed a round. This never happens on the first round. It probably happens 2 or 3 or 4 times per magazine. Racking the slide chambers the round.
       
      I am using CCI Mini Mag plated cartridges so I don't think ammo is the issue (I have also tried Federal LRN).
       
      I have also rounded the rear corner lips on some of the magazines to see if that would help but it is still getting FTF's.
       
      Any ideas what could be causing this?

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
