I'm planning on buying a Ruger .22 soon. Hopefully I'll be able to find a 22/45 Mk. II in good condition, but I may have to go with a Mk. III (either).
How easily can the mag disconnect be disabled on a Mk. III? I've read that it's possible by swapping out the hammer and hammer bushing with Mk. II versions. Is this true?
Numrich is out of stock on all Mk. II hammers, and I can't find anywhere else that sells them. If the above is true, can the Mk. III hammer work with the Mk. II bushing, with or without modifications that can be done with hand tools only? If not, does anyone other than Numrich sell hammers? I forget the difference between Mk. II and Mk. III mags, so would a gun so modified work with either kind, or just one?
