Have a problem I am hoping one of you guys and help me solve.
The gun is a Mark II frame with a ten inch fluted Tac Sol upper. Ruger stainless mark II bolt. With the factory upper it ran flawless. Since the TAC SOL upper was added it will get a fail to extract every so often. Maybe one round in five mags or so.
I figured a new extractor would help so I tried both the VQ Exact Edge Extractor and the Ron Power unit. Both have the same problem. When you close the bolt on a full magazine the round gets jammed, on an angle. It doesn’t even get in to the chamber.
I don’t know how an extractor could cause this but it didn’t do this with the factory extractor. I am about to call Ruger and have them send me one but I figured I’d ask here first.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Vic

Re: MARKII jamming
what ammo are you using? hollow points will cause feed problems
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Re: MARKII jamming
Problem went away after I installed a factory extractor that I had left over from another pistol.
Don't understand it but I ran a couple of mags thru it without any issues.

Re: MARKII jamming
May want to look at your magazines. There is a mod to make the bullet release earlier, preventing jams. The mod is a simple rounding of the ears.
