I have a Mark II bull barrelled target pistol. I installed a Volquartsen sear and the reduction in trigger pull weight is very nice, however, now I get a failure to recock, on average about once or twice per magazine load. I have tried different brands of ammo and different magazines, but still this annoying problem.

I'm sure someone has the solution to this problem.

Thanks

do you have over and pre travel screw maybe adjused too close to work all rthe time?

Yleefox,

If you installed the reduced power trigger return spring from the VQ kit then try reinstalling the factory (stock) return spring. You may just be under the tension level the spring can handle on the return stroke. Any friction will create enough drag to cause this type of problem. Also as Bearandoldman says a pretravel screw may be set too high if you've got one installed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bear and Bullseye,

I appreciate the response to my problem and thanks to Bullseye, I figured out what was going on. In the dark confines of the pistol's frame, I managed to get the spring incorrectly installed. Once I fixed this little gremlin, it works like I expect a Ruger Mark II to work.

I stopped at the local Harbor Freight outlet and bought a 4 inch magnifier with 60 watt bulb with a stand just for those type jobs. It's light and big and you can still use both hands to bo the job.

I'll have to get one of those from Harbor Frieght.

Thanks for the info
