Should have posted before I bought, but has anybody installed this in a MKII? Is it as good as it seems?

I assume that he's talking about these...

...and not Bianchi speed strips. I've used the latter, but not the former. Looks like a pretty slick idea, but not sure I like the amount the new bolt stop pin protrudes above the receiver. If it works as advertised it certainly would stop a lot of pissing & moaning from Ruger owners. Why don't you be our guinea pig and give us a full report?

 

Adios,

What's the issue here? Easy removal of bolt for cleaning? I may be buying a Ruger MK III tomorrow, so I would definitely like to know ...

You obviously have never disassembled a Ruger .22 auto for cleaning. Some will say, "There's nothing to it", while others will curse the designer and wish them a slow & painful death. My opinion is everybody ought to own one at least once - kinda like a British sports car.

Assembly of MKII goes 2 ways for me,

1. Hold the gun upside down and magically flip the hammer in place 10 seconds

2. Do it wrong 20 times for 1 hour.

 

I prefer the first but if the bolt stop pin unscrews, it would be easier. I will try it & post for all.

I always wanted a Ruger mkII and finally bought a mkIII. I was execting nightmares, but it actually wasn't bad. Personally loading the mags was way WAY more annoying. I don't need any tools beyond a paperclip to disassemble...no need for the mallet. I bought a speed loader and think Ruger should include one with each sale...they're that good.

No need, I don't have any issues with my MKIII , its just fine the way it was made, and I can reassemble it in less than 5 minutes...

I think it's the best .22 handgun I have ever shot. I haven't shot many but the ones I did shoot werent as smooth as the mkIII

Yup, I did and glad she's gone!

I'm definitely in the "nothing to it" crowd. I was of course concerned about the disassembly/reassembly procedure when I bought my Ruger MKII. But I just took my time, closely followed the instructions in the manual, and had no problems. Now, I can break down and reassemble my MKII in less than a minute.

 

The MKIII is a bit more complicated because of the magazine disconnect safety -- which requires you to insert and remove the magazine several times during the procedure. I could definitely understand wanting to try the "speed strip" product for a MKIII. For a MKII, I would recommend just taking your time and learn the procedure properly using the manual. If you are having trouble even after practicing it a few times, then go and get the "speed strip".

 

This site is also very helpful. It also includes great detail strip instructions.
