After getting off to a rocky start with the gun not functioning correctly I followed the instructions for removing the mag-disconnect and loaded chamber indicator. Now the gun cycles almost 100% with cheap walmart ammo and 100% with cci Ar-tactical.

In fact the AR-tactical shoots better than any ammo I have ever used. I shot the best group I have ever shot with this gun and this ammo.

I am going to order the VQ trigger and sear next week to make the gun shoot that much better. Although it shoots so well now the only thing that might improve is the gritty trigger pull.

This version was hard to find and cost a few $$ to bring into state. You get hit hard with the 75 transfer fee at the local shops. Plus CA wants their pound of tax flesh.

All in all this is a great gun. I wanted the 4.5 inch for a better balance but I think this gun is more accurate with the longer sight radius.

Re: Ruger mk3 is a keeper

Very nice! I have the MK III Talo edition with a threaded barrel. Couldn't be happier with it..
 
Re: Ruger mk3 is a keeper

The VQ sear is scary.
Get ready for it to work even better.
 
Re: Ruger mk3 is a keeper

Nice Ruger. I'm looking forward to hearing how the VQ sear works out for you. I just picked up my first Ruger Mk III and love it this far.
 
Re: Ruger mk3 is a keeper

Very Nice! That is exactly what my next .22 will be. Also very interested to know how the VQ sear works out.
 
Re: Ruger mk3 is a keeper

i have the 22/45 in the no-fluted barrel with the included rail. at 25 yards it shoots very nice im not a steady as i use to be but, i can take dow something if i needed too. im very happy with it. but i will have to say, the best money i have spent is that kit to get that bushing so the mags will drop freely. best money by far

For those in states where allowed, put a can on there and it's about as fun as .22 gets.
