Ruger mkiii 22/45

[Alvindadio]

I have a mk iii hunter and watched the Ruger video. I was amused when the guy from Ruger said that you don't need to take it down unless you shoot it excessively. It was like shoot a few thousand rounds before doing anything except what you can get aat without taking it apart. I put mine back together with the manual instructions. I'm hoping the non field strip cleanings will get me through lots of rounds.

You gotta hold your mouth just right and shake it just right upside down at the right angle for the right amount of time.

Often people don't realize that on some models(22/45) the grips aren't replaceable. It probably won't matter to most, but it's a good thing to know before you buy, in case it might matter to someone.

if you buy a older 22/45 the mags fall out, i had bought a new ruger MKIII and sold it for the older model, and i prefer the grip angle
the good news is you can shoot a lot of rounds before you need to strip it down for cleaning, just keep the barrel clean

This is true,,,
Just hose it down with CLP,,,
Then swab the bore so it's not fouled.

My pair are on their 3rd 550 round bulk pack,,,
I just hose 'em out and re-oil 'em real good after every range trip.

I have the majestic arms takedown kit in mine, but I still try not to disassemble it.
I use a dental pick to scrape out chunks of gunk and then swab the bore and lightly lube.
It's been going strong for over 3k rounds so far.

I used to didnt have to take mine all the way down very often but with a suppressor it makes it way worse.

I need help getting mine back together. Damn thing is together but doesn't cock the hammer.
