I'd sure like to see the arrow (hyperlink) that allowed a viewer to go directly to the last thread post come back. EDIT < Well apparently the time listing, just below the last poster's name, is now a hyperlink to the last thread post, which is a feature that wasn't working before for me. >...

Great Job to the THR staff! As a forum site manager myself I understand how tedious a migration is to perform. My hat's off to all who made this possible and to those who will make the necessary tweaks to get the forum back up to full operation. R, Bullseye

I haven't heard much about this courageous woman Virginian in the news media. Good Gal with a gun stops bad guy with an AR potentially saves the lives of everyone in the store by terminating this active shooter...

That gap is normal on the metal framed Ruger 22s. The sear spring is not supposed to rest inside the mag well. The spring's long leg is designed to go inside the mainspring housing well, and rest against the frame crosspin for normal operation; sear leg management is the entire purpose for the...

Oops, Yes I did! However that next post by SRH has the same website link I forgot to include in mine. R, Bullseye

This website has some pertinent info on markings and series data for Type 99's and 38's. Hope this helps. R, Bullseye

I'll throw this one into the mix, do you have a "shock buffer" rubberized recoil insert pad, installed? I have seen these interfere with the slide's ability to travel fully rearward. If not, this is a timing issue that in addition to the other suggestions can also be caused by a weakened...

I realized when I proofread my last post I intended to include the following: The area around the disconnector lever is highly susceptible to friction caused by powder residue from detonation blow back, be sure to clean in behind the disconnector lever thoroughly to eliminate this type of...

If everything is stock accept the grip panels then you likely have some powder residue inside the frame interfering with the disconnector lever or the sear causing a timing error. If the hammer is being cocked but the pistol won't fire then the disconnector is the likely source. However if you...

Can't give you a logical assessment of the problem unless you describe in detail the aftermarket modifications you have installed in your Mark II. R, Bullseye

Sometimes the available Ruger videos can be a little vague as to specific parts positioning, in that case you can supplement your videos with a step-by-step procedure. I have posted these links to my Ruger Mark web help pages before but apparently it is time once again...

The object is to strengthen both muscle groups. Holding a pistol steady for any length of time, and extended away from your body, taxes both of these sets of muscles. To reduce trembling and fatigue, strength training builds up stamina for these muscle groups. One could start off with a...

Another great toning exercise for pistol marksmanship is using a simple wrist roller. This is great for strengthening the forearm muscles, and if the weight device is held out at arm's length, parallel to the ground, will strengthen the shoulder muscles too. Toning the forearm muscles in...

If the MS housing only swings open about 3/8's of an inch then the hammer is in the cocked position and striking the rear lug on the housing when you attempt to swing out the housing. Here's the remedy to force the hammer forward -Insert an empty magazine, tilt pistol muzzle downwards, squeeze...

Sorry for your loss. There is an aftermarket product that could aid in the insertion of Ruger 22/45 magazines. Tandemkross has a product called "Plus 1 Pro Magazine Bumpers" and they make installing the mag a whole bunch easier. The added thickness of the bumper to the bottom of the...

Hold on here, lets discuss the Trigger Plunger Spring a moment. Cutting this spring serves little purpose to reducing the overall trigger pull weight. It's purpose is to lift the disconnector lever and reset the sear when the bolt is fully closed. This spring only comprises 4-6 oz. of the...

No need to polish or sand anything, just shoot it and let the pistol break-in itself through normal wear. What you are seeing coming off is a chemical etching material used to darken the shiny silver bolt to a dulled blued finish color, it isn't harming anything and is fairly typical of the...

Hi Suzie, You can do it, it is just that easy! I know what I am talking about, as I am a double Distinguished Marksman, that is for both Service Pistol and Service Rifle competition. I shot on the military big teams both Nationally and Internationally. I have taught hundreds of young...

Within those target tolerances just about any HV, or SV ammo will serve you well through a Ruger .22 Auto. You can even consider bulk packed, like Federal or Winchester, but avoid Remington for the reasons you have already discovered. Bulk ammo will easily hold 1.5 - 2" groups in you model...

Sometimes you just have to experiment with a lot of various brands to find out what will work satisfactorily before settling down and making a large purchase. I'm not sure what kind of target shooting you're interested in but unless you were interested in conventional pistol, also known as...
