Possible Scam Artist - Beware

Just a heads up from a fellow enthusiast... Hi Gang - it's been a while! I still shoot but find much of my extra online time consumed in other forums, for other hobbies - backpacking, for example. Anyway - as I was frequenting one those forums this morning, I came across a Thread warning members abo...

Wow. That's unpleasant news. I guess I'd opt for the same, but I'd be a little disheartened. And they wanted to charge you for return shipping...?

I will surely make sure my barrels are [extra] dry! How common is this?

Hmm.
Were you able to send pictures with your email? In general, I could buy a "it's supposed to be there" line, but I'm not sure I could but that about the particular hole that you're showing us - just doesn't look like a nice, round, "supposed to be there" hole [anymore?].

The Guntalk forums are the best place to go for Ruger Mark information. Reassembly of the Marks is tricky and can be frustrating the first few times; it really is important that you take your time, read carefully, and take your time, and read carefully (breathing helps, too!). Check out the Technica...

I got back out to the range today. I shot lots of Federal 550, Federal 525, and Winchester 333. I also brought a 50rd box of the same Blazer I was shooting last time... One round of the Blazer caused the same "acting like the gun is not cocked" behavior that was happening last time (in the original ...

Thanks for the replies. She's already clean again; and I'm eager to try some more [different] ammo. I appreciate all your advice, and though I don't think it will change what you have to say, here's some clarification: -The trigger is stock; when it was acting up, I could pull it back or push it for...

Mark III interesting behavior - ammo related(?) Help please.

I took my Mark III (5.5 bull) out for a shoot today and while shooting Blazer, it was doing some odd things. (It was properly cleaned and lubed prior to shooting.) Before today, the Mark III had 1k rounds through it; and it's had zero problems other than the occasional FTE or miss fire with cheap am...

Mark III Sear Replacement = Easy; Thanks to Bullseye...

Just wanted to give a thanks to Bullseye for his great work on this site and the helpful write-ups: I followed his field stripping instructions the first few times I needed to clean my Mark III; and now dis/re-assembly is not an issue. Don't be scared, fellas, it's really not so bad; and it's even e...

Welcome!

Someone will chime in on the after market uppers, as I've no experience with them...but I do love the stock bull barrel on my Mark III.
Those grips you have there are gorgeous.

Indeed: great job, Bullseye.

As I learn and grow as a shooter, I have really come to--greatly--appreciate this site and look forward to when my own experience can actually contribute (for now, I just read and practice all that I can).

Keep up the good work!

Check out the Technical Forum, toward the bottom of the main page; then see the instructions for the Mark III - should be similar enough to get you going.
