Ruger MK III

[Slapps74]

Just picked one of these up. Don't know how many people have them bet it seems like its going to be good. Trigger sucks but we are going to change that. Found this write up and it seemed pretty good.

Great gun Slapps, I bought one for my wife and she loves to shoot it. I shoot it more than she does and am usually the one cleaning it. Breakdown/reassembly sucks at first with that spring, but the youtube vids on it are great. It's the most accurate .22 pistol I've ever shot.

I have a Mk II Competition model that I used to shoot bullseye with for years, and one of the best things I did was put a full Volquartsen kit in it. I have not tried this on a Mark III, but on my Mark II I had issues with combustion products building up in the lockwork and causing the trigger pull to get crappy until I cleaned it. I found the info on making a shield to prevent it, and it made a big difference.

I have a few of them including the ruger lite. Only reason i went away from the MK II's is position of the mag release, euro-US / nato

Bought one as a Christmas gift to myself a few years ago , my trigger is very good , takedown is not simple it is crude , accuracy is poor on its best day. Normal Ruger QC ; all over the map! Most folks seem to like them ; mine is just poor!

This is the only negative comment about accuracy I have heard.

i was looking at that. I ordered speed strip kit from Majistic Arms that replaces the hammer with a MK II hammer and bushing that should improve the trigger and help take down. Thought I would try that before the Volquartsen kit.

Yup. 93 JDM MKIV. Bought in Japan, but that pic is in Germany. Great fun around the Ring.

I bought one few months back love it as much as the old mkii I had as a kid. The first thing I did was get one of these http://bushing.webs.com/ to get rid of the mag d/c and over at rimfirecentral there's a guy selling filler pieces for that plastic chamber indicator.
