22/45. Holy crap what a pain.

[Rooskibar03]

I'm not especially handy with small parts but I can usually fumble my way through a field strip, some minor maintenance and upgrade.

But holy crap who designed this stupid thing. I just wanted to put a mag disconnect and extended release on mine and it turned into way more cussing than I expected.

Got out it back together and ran 2 magaInes through it but something just feels off. I'm sure I'm paranoid but I needed to vent some.

It took me two days and more cussing to get the doohickey to stay connected around the firing pin while shaking the whatchamacallit upside down an applying an unreasonable amount of force to the lever thingy. But now it seems good.

I can take down and reassemble ANY ruger 22 Variant (MK II through the current production) in 20 minutes or less. Doing to the right way, that's another story.
Once did take down and reassembly for a good hour 1 day, just to get the hang of it. Next field strip, Like i've never done it before

You need three hands to do just clean the damn thing. I love mine but they are really a pain in the rear to work on.

Well, you've got some time before .22 is available again, if that makes you feel any better.

[StagLefty]

Great gun but yeah a pain in the ass to take apart and reassemble.

I've almost thrown my MKIII out the window a few times. I love the pistol but it took me a while to get the breakdown and assembly right.

[Erni]

Sounds like your guns are faulty. Better give them to me for safe disposal.

[TFOGGER]

First gun I ever owned that I NEEDED to RTFM to field strip...
