The Ruger Marks are IMO about the best 22 auto on the market.  They've gotten a little pricey but to get something better you really need to spend a ton more.  I'm real partial to the slab side model but they're all top notch.  :tup:

Think that's embarrassing?  When I was a kid one of the Dads on the block had to do that with his Harley :chuckle: :chuckle:

My gun is now really tight in the Uncle Mikes holster (I think it is a #4) I am now looking for a bigger holster.

Gunsmith charges? These modifications are something you can do yourself, It was a little overwhelming at first but after looking at how it all went together I was able to understand it. Plenty of help on the internet, found as many drawings as I could and put it all back together. Of course it would not fire the first time  :bash: I think it was the sear spring that was in wrong if I remember right.

I guess what I am saying is I took it all apart thinking that if I could not get it back together I could always take it to a gunsmith to have it put back together.

Dave



i pulled that dang thing apart to clean it once. after a couple of hours smdave printed off a taken apart exploded drawing of one so i could put it back together.  then i put it together. took it apart. fixed mistakes i made, then put it back together again.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Slider, You will love it, they are great guns and the Volquartsen parts are pretty easy to put in. Heres a pic of mine I sent back to Volquartsen and had the works done to it. Built it for rimfire bullseye but it has turned into my grouse gun.  :chuckle:

Nice looking bird there Iceman.  Caught one, almost, with my Jeep awhile back.  I was rolling about 5mph down a very old FS road when the bugger jumped up into my open window. He smacked me in the face a couple times before figuring out the passenger side window was closed and got out my side. I stopped and watched him gather his wits before rolling away. The damn thing followed me for 30+ yards looking up at me and clucking like he wanted something. He's lucky I wasn't hungry. :chuckle:
