Well, an easy test for that is see if it will turn water into Hoppe's. If it can perform one miracle, it may be able to perform another. :mrgreen:

Just look at it as a few free failure drills included free in every box....no expensive dummy rounds required. ;)
Except the Remington duds are even better training aids. They keep you on your toes, because you *know* a dummy round can't hangfire. You have no such assurance with Remington .22's

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle..... I used to think I was half assed mechanically inclined until I got a Mk III. Time will tell if I need to get one.

The gun was just released. Give it a while for them to hit the market, prices will go down.

The Ruger MkI, MkII and the MkIII are very easy to field strip and put back together. You just have to know about the hammer strut and the sear spring retaining pin. Oh! there is the mag safety on the MkIII too. It's kind of like using a doorknob for the first time. Once you know how it works, it's easy.
My 12yo son can do it. Ruger has not made a better design, just made it easier for those not willing to learn and spend money on something new.
Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Field Strip? I've had my Mark II for a decade or longer, and I've never tried to field strip it.

'course, I don't run Remington ammo through it.

I don't use my Mark II very much, so it goes a long time between cleanings. Thus my reassembly difficulties. Seems like something has to be held in a certain direction to get something else to fall in place correctly. Maybe I need to print the directions on the heel of the boot as it were.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Drift pins are tapered for a reason, is all I can say.
