Mk IV after a month

[Gonzobird]

So I have had my MK IV 22/45 for a month now.

Great .22 target gun. I was curious as to how long i could go without cleaning it. made it 1003 rounds and got my first jam.

Now it is time to swap out the internals with this , Volquartsen Accurizing Kit for Ruger MKIV & MKIV 22/45 - No Trigger | TANDEMKROSS , and then clean it.

Then again I only got it on friday.

They are addicting to shoot. You can do shoot all day and not even feel it.

True! I was pressed for time. I have shot them previously and been really impressed, finally got my very own.

Suffice to say I have two mags and looking to buy more!

@BDinPutnam did you put a red dot on it? I put a Primary Arms Micro Red Dot on mine and for the price it's fantastic.

Not yet but I'm seriously thinking about it. I want to change the red fiber optic out for the green I think. In a couple of months I will have a spare FastFire III I may try that out.

That parts kit- can you use it with the factory trigger?

 

[Gonzobird]

I went the cheap way and stuck the busnell red dot. Works fine and it was only $45 on amazon. I put the hogur grips on it as well as I thought the stock grips felt boxy.

I ordered a trigger for it today. The stock trigger is sloppy as all hell.

They are really great guns for target shooting. I never really paid attention to them until my local club had a rimfire pistol shoot. Now I can't stop shooting it.

 

[Gonzobird]

You can use that kit with the trigger but like I said above I feel the factory trigger sucks.

My MK3 22/45 will go a long time without cleaning. When it gets gummed up I get a lot of light strikes.

The trigger kit you are getting is great, but I would recommend changing the trigger to one with an over travel adjustment.

The over travel adjustment makes a big difference in how the trigger feels - in a good way.

@BDinPutnam honestly I'm not sure. I just installed the kit and never looked back. I did save the old parts though.

Here's an image of mine, but it might have been taken before I put the accurizing kit in.

@Gonzobird I considered the Bushnell, but for a few dollars more I felt like I was getting a better product. Some of the negative reviews are what pushed me away from the Bushnell.

Agreed! I run a Primary Arms 1-6 scope for my 3gun AR. I think they are great products.

My thing was that I was never good with red dots, just never used them much. I didn't want to spend money on something I might just take off if i didn't like it. With the 22/45 I am getting used to a red dot and maybe down the road i will put something better on it.

 

[BDinPutnam]

@Gonzobird I imagine it is a nice cheap (ammowise at least) way to train up on handgun red dot. I like it. I may have to put that FastFire on sooner than expected.

I forgot to mention, rumor has it the Primary Arms MD-RBGII is a rebranded Holosun. But I couldn't find anything to back up that claim.
