My Ruger Mk III broke down one week ago. I diagnosed the problem easily when I tore the gun down. Coils had fallen off the firing pin rebound spring. Oscillation within the firing pin channel evidently wore some spots thin on the spring. I called Ruger's factory in Prescott, Arizona Monday afternoon, and the parts arrived Friday. The nice lady who waited on me knew the products well, and took care of me quickly.
The pistol went back together in a few minutes, and I will test it out tomorrow. I need to figure a way to store the spares in the grip of one of the pistols, so I can find them if I have this problem again.
I had a Mark II. It was a vary difficult pistol to reassemble after a deep cleaning. I like shooting it but hated cleaning it. I finally cleaned it up and traded it in for a 92AF INOX.
ReplyDeleteMost of our Ruger Mk tribe is easy to tear down and put back together, but on one of them the hammer strut never wants to swing free. That was a tough one before I figured out what my problem was!
