The smoothness of the action is lacking.. I had an opportunity to cycle a mark II and it was like silk.... It was suggested that perhaps the spring is stronger on the Mark III then on the mark II thus causing a higher resistence when pulling the bolt back manually... ANY other ideas...

they all go off in different directions.....

I just need to learn how to use them....

amazing that for the lack of a 3 dollar part properly made.. ruger would have (to a large degree) FIXED their developing reputation for stove piping. I have had perhaps on pipe since installed... and I suspect that was a seating issue for the new extractor as it happened in the first mag of...

changed out the extractor.... with 300 rounds thru it i have had 2 pipes... interesting... need to push another 500-600 rounds thru it before i am convinced the metal protion of the lci i am considering removing as long as the remaining plastic piece does not "over rotate" and interrupt loading

will start with this..... tool steel extractor... with sharper edges..... even "Ruger Support" said give it a try.....

by removing the metal tab.. at least two folks have posted that the plastic indicator over rotates back and causes real problems with the bolt.. I have found only two folks who removed the metal indicate this... One removed the plastic as well to resolve the other put the metal back in.....
