Good to meet you all. I've been a member for a while, but have never posted, enjoying instead the revealed wisdoms of fellow enthusiasts.
I've a question some of you 'bullseye' guys might have an answer to:
I've recently picked up a Ruger slabside Target Mk II in stainless. Sweet gun, but unlike my other Mk IIs, the barrel assembly on this one moves slightly when pressure is applied. That is to day: If I hold the firearm in one hand and 'shake' the barrel assembly with the other, the barrel assembly moves, although only very slightly.
I have been told that this is from the pistol being repeatedly and completely field-stripped. Is this true? Is this something that can be fixed?
Normally when I clean my Mk IIs, I remove the bolt only. I don't take the barrel off of the frame.
Can the frame be "tightened" up? I love the gun, but the slight looseness bothers me. Is it as simple as a slight squeeze to the frame sides (braced in a vice), or is it more complicated then that?
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can give me.
