seems like maybe they messed up your vin. Def an electrical prob with the PCM seeing that when you install the stock PCM it fires right up. Call them tomorrow and see if they have an easy way around it. I bet you have to ship it back though Tony. Sorry bud but this is the problem with the newer performance vehicles, things either work right away or not at all. I miss the carb'd days and the tinkering. I agree with Troy, SLP is great and local to us. -Scott

we only needed the rubber mallet to remove the barrel from the handle. Didnt need it for the bolt pin at all. Def post after trying your new parts. -Scott

You did it multiple times like it says tony? -Scott

Tony, Which car is this for? Was the VIN put into the PCM prior to install? When you say turn over, do you mean it will crank with a no start or wont even crank? -Scott

Couldnt agree more! Funny cuz my uncle is in Lanoka Harbor and I see your in Lacey...should have contacted you for assistance! -Scott

Your not kidding Troy...My uncle loves this gun but was completely turned off by the disassemble, cleaning, internal blemishes and reassembly. -Scott

I helped my uncle clean his Mark III Ruger competition 6 7/8ths barrel pistol last night. All I can say is WOW....what a pain in the a**!!! The hammer strut thing drove me nuts! In Rugers defense, the gun is a solid shooter and performs well. The owners manual should be a little more model specific which would make it easier to read and follow along with. Little issues taking it apart, nothing major. Once apart cleaning wasnt bad. Saw some scoring/blemishes that looked uncommon for a newer gun with only 200rds through it. The bolt did hang up a bit coming out and going in but nothing big. Just seems like the whole setup with the bolt, hammer stut and main spring housing with the bolt stop pin are very confusing and different for newbie shooters. Now that I have had the gun apart, cleaned and reassembled after some difficulties I feel i could do it faster and easier but it was a pain for the first time. My uncle will never try to do it on his own I can promise that! Anyone else have issues the first time they cleaned/disassembled their ruger rimfire pistols? -Scott

guinness...goin down nice and smooth too! -Scott

They were denting the primer I guess just not striking hard enough to fire. The info you guys have brought up makes me believe the issue is the fact that they sat so long without being oiled regularly or even moved/cocked/fired caused them to gum up a bit. I will try to clean the pins a bit and oil them again and see if they move better. Thanks everyone for the info! Once again, the good people hear saving me a trip to the gunsmith and helping out. -Scott

Thanks Tony...& no they are not left cocked. -Scott

I know this is a newbie question but does the cold effect the way a gun/shotgun functions? I have two shotguns that I was trying to sell yesterday so I put them in the trunk of my car and they sat in the cold for about 12hrs. When I met with the purspective buyer he wanted to test fire first. When he tried to fire them neither would fire. The firing pins seemed as if they were not sliding enough. The 12ga. had been serviced and since then I had no issues with it firing but it has sat in my safe for about 6mths. The 20ga. hasnt been serviced yet and would typically take two or three trys before firing. Do you think the grease/lube on the pins could have been effected by the cold? -Scott

Not all that close to TJ's ray. Its on Rt.130 in Bordentown. Its on the western side of the state from Bayville. Just south of trenton/hamilton area. -Scott

Good to see they have stock again....last I stopped in there(probably over a yr now) they had 1-2 boxes of each ammo and that was it. Nice price though, thanks for the heads up Bryan! -Scott

Heres a pic if you havent seen one. -Scott

Has anyone shot this or even seen one in person? I read somewhere that is is completely plastic. I tell you what the pics I have seen they look pretty badass for a lil plinker and a lot cheaper then the MP15-22, or the ruger. Let me know what you guys think! -Scott

Didnt think corrections officers were issued any weapons seeing that they dont carry them while on duty. The corrections officers I know purchased their own off duty & do not carry within the prison. As far as the NJSP, I believe it comes down the the graduating class as to what weapon they were issued. I know the classes that went through in 2004 have 9mm sig 226. As for off duty its up to them. -Scott

Where do you shoot down that way? Back in the day I worked right on Rt.30 in Absecon. -Scott

My SR9 has a bit more rounds through it then yours if you want to try my broken in spring and see if the issue is resolved then your spring still needs to break in. If the problem is the same then, as mentioned, your GF needs to work on her form. Let me know, I can meet at either SS or BA. -Scott

A few years they were supercharged and a few years they were turbocharged. I believe Tony's is turbocharged. -Scott

Theres a GM dealer on 72 isnt there? Any GM dealership should be able to do a recall for you, it doesnt have to only be a Chevy dealer. I know its a bit of a drive but I have heard good things about the chevy dealer on the south bound side of RT.9 in Freehold. Just south of 537 and the mall. Good luck Tony. -Scott

Their large service department on Rt.88 in lakewood. Across from their Chevy dealer....I've heard some terrible things about them in the last two months. -Scott

Oh no that has the electronic steering too? Thats a terrible design...the motor mounts towards the drivers fender at the back of the intake on the N/A ecotec motors, not sure about the boosted motors. I believe with the recall they are replacing the whole motor correct? Good luck Tony! DONT take it to Pinebelt, I have been hearing HORROR stories about their service lately. -Scott

I know I started this thread but I am not gunna make it out to either location tonight. Once again plans changed and I cant make it. Have fun guys! -Scott

I saw that I missed out on a big north vs. south meet yesterday. I was wondering if anyones gunna be shooting at BA or SS tomorrow night? I should be picking up some ammo tonight and trying to get some range time in. -Scott

My Uncle has a 627 that I love to shoot. Its very accurate and it handles the power of the 357magnum rounds easilly. Enjoy!!! -Scott
