Im thinking of buying a Ruger Mark III 22/45 Bull Barrel 5.5".
If I put a scope on it then do I have to remove the scope each time I clean it ?

If it's like the Mark II, you will find reasons not to strip it for cleaning. If it is, read directions carefully, and do not force anything on reassembly. It takes a secret handshake or 2 to get her back together.
I wouldn't put my whole post down as "Internet nonsense."
I agree. Sure, once you practice it a bit and memorize the steps, it's fairly easy. But it's difficult for many people at first.maxxhavoc said:I wouldn't put my whole post down as "Internet nonsense." It is not an intuitive process.
It's definitely not "Internet nonsense" that many people find the Mk III difficult to take apart and reassemble. Most modern handguns can easily be field stripped without any proir knowledge about that specific gun. But if you haven't memorized the specific steps to disassemble and reassemble a Mk III, it can be difficult. I finally learned how to do it by pulling up a YouTube video and grabbing one of our range guns and taking it apart and putting it back together several times. Now I find it pretty easy. But I still remember that it gave me trouble at first.Fishbed77 said:Internet nonsense.
There in nothing particularly difficult about field stripping a Mark II or III. The method is just different from pretty much any other pistol.
