I agree the Ruger takedown and reassebly can be a challenge when its new to you. But...it really does get easier. Study the instructions and pictures that Bullseye has provided so that you understand what is going on inside the pistol when you are following all of the "point it up...insert magazine....

At our montly steel plate match this morning, two of the guys in my squad were shooting GSGs. One of the shooters was a kid (maybe 14?) and the other was a "seasoned" shooter. The kid had a few FTE/FTFs during the day but the adult shooter did not. The adult said he was very happy with his GSG (othe...

Looks like a nice sight. I bought a Tactical Solutions red fiber optic front sight for my Mk II and was also pretty happy with it but it looks like the Dawson pipe is a bit narrower. I might like that better.

I used the Mk II this morning at a steel plate match and it functioned flawlessly for the entire match. No hiccups, FTEs, FTFs, for 120+ rounds. I will eventually get around to measuring the original hammer bushing for comparison but for now its working well again. Thanks again for all the help. Thi...

I didn't measure the original b/c I don't have time to take it out of the pistol right now. But, the Clark bushing measures as follows: 0.059" end of ferrule to inner edge of flange on the short end 0.315" end of ferrule to inner edge of flange on the long end 0.048" thickness of flange 0.425" overa...

I've been to the range twice now after replacing the VQ Hammer and Clark Hammer Bushing with the original Ruger parts. I did not clean the pistol before heading out. I'm happy to report that I did not have a single FTE or FTF while shooting both Federal bulk pack and CCI SV ammo. The bolt seems to c...

I thought I'd start by replacing the VQ hammer/Clark bushing with the original Ruger hammer and bushing. I figured that out to get things aligned correctly and confirm if the Clark bushing is throwing things out of alignment. Everything seems to function ok but I won't really know until I get out to...

The bolt stop pin holes on the Pac-Lite, MkII 10", and MkIII 22/45 all measure about 0.316" +/- a thousandth or two. So that doesn't seem to be an issue. FYI - Bolt stop pin measures 0.306" in diameter. But, as you can see in the picture, there's a big difference in the slot that accepts the frame l...

There is not alot of slop or play in the fit of either the TS Pac-Lite or Ruger receiver to the barrel. The "play" I've tried to desribe seems to be a result of a wider slot that accepts the frame lug. When I just set the Ruger receiver on the frame (w/o tapping it into place) there is very little r...

The VQ hammer in the pictures measures 0.262" with my digital calipers. I've measured the original OEM that was in the pistol and also the hammer on my MkIII 22/45. They both measure 0.272". I've removed the disconnector burr and cleaned up the hammer as suggested. The disconnector is flat (in fact ...

No stinger or hyper velocity ammo has been used. 99% has been federal 525 bulk pack. I'll get a hammer width this evening.

You all helped me greatly about 18 months ago and now I'm experiencing a different problem with the same pistol. Its a Ruger Mk II with the 10" bull barrel. Clark hammer bushing, VQ hammer, VQ sear, VQ trigger, VQ extractor. I've mostly used this with a Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite barrel and it ran ...

I've only shot about 6 steel matches myself so I'm no expert. I usually use my MkII with the 4.5" Pac-Lite barrel. This past weekend I shot both the MkII and my 5.5" SS MkIII 22/45 with a Railway reddot. I just weighed both and they tip the scales at 28.4 oz (MkII) and 38.2 oz (MkIII). The 10 oz (> ...

Thanks for the responses.

I have a PacLite 4.5" threaded barrel for my MkII. I bought it because I wanted to attach a suppressor and didn't want to thread the original 10" barrel. I surely can't claim that its more accurate than any other barrel (haven't tested it) but it is nice and light and serves its purpose well. I've u...
