Ruger MKiii gunsmithing...

[CharlesT]

I have a lot of parts to install into a MKiii and it's extremely daunting.:banghead:

I would really prefer to send it out to a professional.

I was planning on sending it to cylinder and slide but they are pretty backed up.

Who is qualified and trustworthy?
It would be better if in the midwest.

Thanks

The Ruger MKIII is not that hard to work on once you learn how to detail strip the gun. You need to know how to do this for it's required about every 2500 rounds. Once you do it a few times it's not hard. There are several u-tube videos floating around but I like the pictorial step by step done by Bullseye. Here is a link to his service section for the MK's www.guntalk-online.com/service.html . The first time I did mine I did it in front of a monitor and one step at a time. Worked great. A few areas you need to watch closely is the sear spring orientation and the FP rebound spring. And make sure the firing pin block in in place when you install the bolt.

But before installing any after market parts make sure the gun functions correctly. So if you have problems you can back track and find problem child. If you have stove-pipes it can be related to several items, magazine ride height and the LCI are the most common.

Enjoy, These are great guns to shoot and very accurate with the right ammo.

Clark Custom and VQ is another place that works on the Ruger MK's
