The gun is almost brand new, it has about 100 rounds through it. I just had deal with sending a gun back to Ruger, and from what I learned doing that, I doubt they will want to replace the barrel. I had to fight to get them to replace my previous gun. If they test fire the gun and it shoots reliably...

Ruger MKIII rifling

I was cleaning the bore of my new MKIII the other day and when looking at the bore with a light I noticed one of the lands near the crown did not look quite right. After looking at it with a jewelers loupe, I could see that on one side of one of the lands, the land was marred, or rounded over, for a...

Ruger MKIII, Ultradot, 50 feet indoors SF 83 TF 99-5 RF 98-5 NMC 280-10 Slow fire just wasn't working to good today. Last week I tried something new during practice that I thought was interesting, and figured I would share it here. I have always been quite a bit better at timed and rapid, but have w...

Mossberg 930 input

I used to do a lot of shotgun shooting and duck hunting, but have been out of it for a while now. I would like to start doing some recreational shooting and possibly hunting again, with the price of things, competitive shooting is probably not something I will get back into any time soon, if ever. I...

As the other guys have said, the first thing to do is try different ammo. .22 pistols can be very picky with ammo, and .22 ammo quality can be hit and miss as well. I agree CCI mini-mags, CCI Blazer, CCI Standard Velocity, would be a good place to start. I have a MKIII, and when the LCI was in the g...

Thanks guys, bgreenea3, I live in Illinois, and there is a bill that would require all Illinois residents to register all handguns, with a $65.00 fee per gun, and a additional $25.00 fee for re-registering each gun every five years after the first registration. It turns out my representative is actu...

how to oppose state bill

Hello, I'm seeking any advice on the proper way to oppose a state bill. I have the phone numbers to call, but what exactly do I say. Are there any other options other than calling or writing a letter? Thanks

After finishing the second string on it, I knew was going to be good, but I did surprise myself when I glanced through my spotting scope. That was one of my best targets ever, and the three out of the x ring, were within a bullets width from being in. One thing I quit doing that has helped sustained...

I have ordered from Buds a few times now, and am pleased with their service. I was thinking the same, that such a well known online dealer, would probably sell enough to only have the recent production Rugers. Bullseye, do have any idea when Ruger made the small changes to the pistols, I know when m...

New MKIII"s/Buds Gun Shop

I was wondering if anyone has ordered a Ruger MKIII 5.5 bull barrel from Buds Gun Shop recently. I am asking because I want to order one from them, but was unsure if the MKIII's they have in stock are of the most recent production of guns that feature the newly added target crown and extended feed r...
