Very nice, have some fun with it.

I just got a new Clark barrel for my old,1967 Model 41. The trigger guard would not close all the way to lock in the barrel. This was not unexpected, before I started grinding away on the new barrel lug I wanted to review just what I needed to file. I thought I had seen in on the Rimfire Central For...

I have used Bullseye, but I prefer WST, seems to be cleaner burning and I am getting good groups with it at 50 yards. I like the feel of the recoil better.

I gave the MKIII a really good chamber cleaning. I started with Hopps bore solvent with my chamber brush, then then I used JB bore cleaner on my jag and worked it in real good, used the chamber brush on a drill to remove any lose matter. Like magic when I went to the range yesterday I had no problem...

Ok I will get more aggressive with the chamber cleaning and see how that goes.
Thanks for the help!

Cleaning the chamber was one of the first things a friend suggested. I used a 25 cal bronze cleaning brush with Hopps bore solvent. It also looks clean. When a round fails to fire I can put it back in and it will fire. What would be your method of extreme cleaning?

Thanks Green, I did do a good cleaning of the firing pin and the firing pin rebound spring was in good shape. If I replace the firing pin would a Volquartsen a good way to go?

My MkIII has over 20,000 rounds thru it and lately I am getting light strikes on the primer. This will happen about once in a 100 rounds of CCI SV and with SK Standard plus it happen so much I do not like to even practice with it. I have the original Main Spring and recoil spring. Is it time for the...

Yes they are pricey, that is why it was nice that mine already had it installed.

Downeaster, here is a close up of the Marble Tang sight. I went to the range again yesterday and shoot with just the Tang. It will take more practice to get good with it then the scope. I shot ok with the targets at fifty yards, but the silhouettes at fifty yards were really hard for me to see. I co...

Several weeks ago I meet a guy out at the range that had won a Henry H001 at a Friends of the NRA dinner. He let me shoot it. I was hooked. I started to do my research and decided that I wanted the Frontier model, with a Marble Tang sight. At the local Sportsman Warehouse it was $359. The tang sight...

Its good stuff. I have shot a 100 in timed fire with it. Thumbs Up.

Well it has been awhile since my original post for this problem. I wanted to let you all know what the out come was. The month before I had shoot scores that would move me up to Sharphooter. Long overs due, but some are slow to pick things up and that was me. Anyway I later found out that I needed m...

I was cleaning my MKlll today getting ready for this Sundays Bullseye competition. When I took out the firing pin I found that the return spring was broken. I know I have no chance to get a new spring before Sunday. Will the gun still function? How big a problem is this for Sundays Match.
