Hi Everyone,
The Mark III 22/45 is by far the most used pistol in my safe. I bought it when I turned 21 and I've used it as a great learning tool to teach a new individual how to shoot and use a pistol safely.
The only thing that bugs me is that I can't Slingshot the bolt like the rest of the pistols I own. I've removed the detent ball and spring illustrated in the online tutorial (http://www.guntalk-online.com/2245detai ... .htm#ssmod). After reassembling the pistol the bolt will not sling shot a round. The next step was to strip the frame and clean the frame of gunk that could prevent the bolt catch from falling freely. After doing so I reassembled the pieces (minus the detent ball and spring of course). To my disappointment I still can not slingshot a round in the chamber.
I can't find other people with the same problem so I thought I should post my problem here and see if anyone has tried the slingshot mod and find it doesn't work.
Thanks
