I have a beautiful, Ruger MK III Hunter, Target model, fluted barrel with a True Glow red dot. Funny story on it, I was looking at guns at a local shop many years ago and saw this while my wife was with me as he usually is. I said, I can't justify this and she said, just make it my Mother's Day present. So that has been the joke for many years, it is her gun, a mothers day gift. Unlike the house that she cleans, I clean the MK II.
Anyway, getting into a men's league and 22 is on the schedule. I want to enhance the performance while balancing the appearance and costs. The Red Dot is awesome for the old eyes and I took my magazines apart, sanded and polished them, lubed them up and that helped. I have a lot of Federal Auto Match and other 22 ammo and my goal is to add modifications one at a time until I get the smooth action and complete reliability I am looking for. I guess I will know it when I feel it!
So the question is, what changes, both to the original firearm and additional parts do you recommend, what order, what was accomplished with the changes, etc. I am retired and I see some videos and it appears some people just make changes for the sake of making changes. I am seeking concrete results, knowing they are all different, but I want my remaining years of shooting 22 to be fun and carefree. Thanks in advance!
