To me it is all about Ergonomics, since I like my AR-15, and I like shooting the .22 LR Rimfire this seemed like the logical thing to do. A couple years ago I bought a used 10/22 from a buddy with a project in mind. This 10/22 was really rough but after hours of polishing and scrubbing it actually s...

One thing to make note of when replacing the hammer spring assembly is the direction the slot on the washer on the bottom of the hammer spring is oriented. If I remember correctly when inserting the bottom end of this spring assembly into the trigger housing the slot on that washer is supposed to be...

Does anyone know how much the Volquartsen V-Comp weighs and how long it is (ie how much does it add to the overall length of the Handgun)?

Thanks

I don't know about other clubs but we offer leagues for strictly Rimfire. In fact only a very few of our shooters shoot anything but rimfire. I am sure the wavier you need will not be an issue, just some paper work. I am also sure there should be someone at your club that can help out with that, at ...

By all means jump right in and start shooting. You have received some excellent advice. To add to it I have been shooting Rimfire Handgun Bullseye Competition since 1991. We formed a club, bought a building and transformed it into an Indoor Shooting Range at that time. I have also served on the boar...

Not sure what to tell you about the moles Jack. I know shooting Gophers is sure a lot of markmanship practice and fun taboot.

The Ruger 10/22DSP sure do look nicer than the plain jane versions. I just finished working on a buddies and his has nice wood also. I did a trigger job on it as well as the Auto Bolt Modification. His was a new one with the Plastic Trigger Housing and Trigger. The trigger turned out quite good at 2...

At times my bolt won't go completely closed when feeding a round. Yes I have cleaned the heck out of it, tried different lubes. Switching the recoil springs & guide rods seemed to solve the problem on the MKII. What got me to thinking it was the recoil spring is a guy at the indoor shooting range wa...

Thanks Bullseye. Last night I switched the recoil spring assemblies in my two Rugers just for an experiment. The problem I had been having with the MKII disappeared. Looks like I will be ordering a new Recoil Spring Assembly.

Thanks

Yes Wolff Gunsprings makes a extra power recoil spring, but the way I took it it does not come as an assembly.

Thanks

Changing the Recoil Spring on a Ruger MKII

I am sure Bullseye has probably done this before and hopefully can share some insight. How does a person go about changing the recoil spring on a Ruger MKII? Is there some trick to getting the recoil spring guide rod apart and back together again? Or is it advisible to just order the assembly comple...

On the last photo of your hammer & washers it looks to me like the inside diameter of your outside washer is larger than the bushing. If so that might be the problem.

As Bullseye stated it is probably the size of your magazine safety removal washers. At least that was the problem I had on my MKIII until Bullseye figured it out for me.

THANKS blueridgeranger. I had it out today shooting a few gophers. Actually I was out yesterday and shot a few gophers with it also. I have read all about all of the Ruger 77/22's shortcomings on the net and to be honest I really have only ever had a problem with one. That one had the hole for the b...
