bought a sig mosquito a week ago and needless to say not a very good purchase.
the same day someone gave me a mk1 that they had laying around for the last 25 yr's. just shot and never cleaned. after reading as many post as i could, watching youtube videos, i decided to break it down to the barrel. what a headach. thank's for all the info because after i payed attention to it all, it turned out to be time consuming, but a pleasuer. even better was the first time i shot it. couldn't believe how accurate it was, so i stopped at a gun shop in town and picked up a mk111target.
first time to the range today with them, and i really couldn't make up my mind which to shoot. they were both so accurate. about 250 rd's. through each and not one problem except adjusting the sight's on the mk111. once sighted in it fired like a dream i brought along the mosquito and used cci mini mag's, but they have so much wax i tried using some one shot to get a little off. they didn't work in the sig, but both ruger's ate them up. also used win 333 and fed bulk. not one problem in the ruger's but the sig was another story. glad i made the change.
i've read a lot of problem's people are having with the mk111's, mag's, trigger change, etc. but i am perfectly happy with the way it is. i guess when i lean more about them i might change the trigger out, but for now i am satisfied with the way it is. actually the only thing i might do is get a Mark III Competition and put a scope on it and try an adjustable trigger. i guess i just got the fever.
thanks everyone for all of your informative information. it's alway's good to hear about the pro's and con's of anything you buy, especially when someone own's that product and tell's it like it is.
