22/45 cross pin removal

Hi, I did this mod about 5 years ago on a MK III, and I didn't have a problem. Now, trying to repeat this on a 22/45, I can't get the hammer bushing pin out. I've hit them pretty hard with a punch too. Being a plastic gun, I'm a little concerned with breaking the frame. Is there a particular directi...

Thanks all! Looks like something to look at down the line a bit. I've got VQ
trigger and sear coming, so I don't want to totally confuse myself.

I appreciate all the good info I've collected here!!

So, will that rail mentioned above fit on a standard MKIII? Is the sight
dovetail the same size as the other pistols? Does it work as advertised?
The current sight is just drifted out sideways?

Thanks,

Jeff

Screw size, MK III

I know I've seen this before, but I'm looking for the size of the rail mounting screws on a MK III. #6-40?? How hard is it to drill these screws? Is the receiver hardened? I've got a Standard that I am thinking of putting a rail on so I can attach a red dot scope. I've got a drill press. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for the answers here. Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as mis-assembly... To simplify, My original problem was a failure to eject. I replaced the extractors and their springs. Then, because I was now getting total failure to eject, I replaced the feed throat and the lifter spring with more ...

Marlin 60 new vs old, FTE

Hi, I have a Marlin 60 (actually a Western Auto 120), that I think is a 1973 model. I've had it for about 8 years, but am just trying to figure it out. I am getting about 1/2 failure to ejects! Since the extractors seemed weak, I replaced them. The cartridges do not seem to be ejected. The previous ...

Target measurement

Hi, Please excuse me if this has been answered before, but how does one measure a target? How does one measure the distance between two hits? Is it center to center, or inside edge to inside edge, or outside edge to outside edge, or ?? I assume the holes are measured as the size of the bullet hole i...
