Troy, this is the Smith Wesson gun gods punishing you for selling that Smith 22a and buying a ruger.

LOL

 

I knew what I was getting into when I sold the 22a and buying the Ruger......

 

If/When the M&P .22lr pistol comes around..... this thing is gone. Nothing wrong with it, just not in love with it......

 

I would trade it now for something different....

LAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Suck it up and break it down you wimp!

Nope...... Just tryin to not sell it....

B-O-R-E-S-N-A-K-E

Troy....my 22A is cake to clean. So simple! Thanks for selling it to me! :mrgreen:

because you do not shoot it.

I do not know how I survived so long without boresnakes.

Just to offer my two cents on this topic, the MKIII is a absolute wh**re to reassemble after cleaning. When I first got mine, I studied the manual, watched some videos online, and thought I was confident to deal with nightmare. I was wrong :x It came apart very easily, and I cleaned it, and went to put it back together. That is where the problem came in. I was not as prepared as I thought. I went back online and found this:

 

The dingleberry and cheese are the pelosi. This made it so simple to reassemble it wan't even funny. After a little practice it is no problem at all. I can even strip it in the feild if need be, no tools required. If you need any help, give a shout.

Well I just took my Mk III to the range for the first time! :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

 

300 rounds and not a single failure of any kind! Of course taking it apart was another story, I got my mallet out and with a few (more like 20) solid whacks the receiver finally came off. And fell on my workbench and now it has a tiny ding :angry-cussingblack: Alas..

 

Anyway, I have one of those Hoppes pistol cleaning kits with the aluminum rod. I noticed the rod is already picking up a few scratches--can the rod scratch my bore? Or is the bore too hard for that?

 

Wish me luck putting it back together.

pm if you have problems I'll give you my cell number and walk you through it. It's the easiest thing in the world!!

Thanks Matt. I'm stuck trying to get the barrel back on..I dont want to whack it too hard!

Colin: I'll be at CR tomorrow if you want to bring it up there.

Pronoun, check out the link I posted above. It was VERY helpful to get the gun back together.

Rod is softer than bore, it will not hurt your barrel.

Lol this is why I got a Browning Buckmark. Easy as cake to disassemble and clean and put back together.

Thanks Frank! I actually got it back together. Took me a little while but the worst part was just knocking the receiver far enough onto the frame to get the mainspring pin back in. Then it took me another 25 minutes to get the dangly thing in the right place.

Thanks, yeah I checked out like every dis/assembly video on YouTube. I was just surprised by the amount of force it took to get apart.

They are great guns with tight tolerances which make them awesome shooters. After you take it apart a couple times it'll work a little lose and you'll have no problem taking it apart.
