Re: The new Ruger Mark IV Target and Hunter

I decided to get the Mark iv Hunter, loved the 6.88 inch fluted barrel. If you have a Field and Stream store nearby ( yes, I know they Played to the anti-gun media and took all ARs out) be aware that they do price matching. I showed an add from Bud's Guns on my phone and saved over $100 off their pr...

sight adjustment

I drifted the rear over, now the windage is dead on. I am putting an orange sticker 4" higher than my target and can get 7 to 8 out of ten hits. I am holding off on taking material off of the front blade for now. I may order an extra blade next time I need a part and experiment. I use whatever bulk ...

MarkII sight questions

I recently picked up a used Mark II with 4.5" tapered barrel with fixed sights. I love it except for the sights. At 50' from a rest, my point of impact is about 5" left and 3" low of center. My questions are: Can the fixed rear sight be drifted over? Can I raise the point of impact by filing down th...

22/45 bolt problem

I have recently installed a new hammer bushing and removed the magazine safety and LCI. Functions test and dry firing were good and the trigger pull felt better. I ran into trouble at the range. The first shot of the magazine was fine, then the bolt would not fully close (out of battery) with all 9 ...

Gunshine, I had the same symptoms after installing a new hammer bushing (to get rid of the magazine safety). It turns out that the bushing was not seated all the way pushing the hammer assembly slightly off center causing the binding.

Ruger Firing pin stop

After detail stripping of my MKIII 22/45, i could not re-insert the firing pin stop (roll pin style). I had a shoot the next day so I improvised and cut the shaft from a dremmel accessory. After smoothing out the cut with a file it fit perfectfully and has held up well so far-about 600 rds. My quest...
