I have never disassembled a Ruger MKIII 22/45 pistol before today but I made a trade and one came in the deal...probably gift it to one of the girls.
My question is when did Ruger switch to a roll pin (hollow)from a solid pin for the firing pin stop on the MKIII pistols? i thought the pin was gone until I disassembled the bolt and couldn't remove the firing pin...sure would be nice if Ruger differentiated in their instruction manual for the MkIII...
The Mk III's a PITA, point muzzle up...point muzzle down, insert magazine, remove..the MK IV will be a revelation for anyone who ONLY owns a MKIII
