mkII problems

[country_boy]

Still have feeding problems after 3 clips worth. Ive cleaned and cleaned and oiled it Still the same problems. Is there a rebuild kit or a upgrade kit? Its a 1993 I bought used 3 years ago. Ive shot about 3000 rounds though it. No telling from previous owner(s).

What exactly is it doing?

 

[Dawico]

I am guessing it is a feed problem caused by the magazine. I had two of them, and the older one worked fine. The newer one had troubled magazines that would let the rounds nose-dive into the feed ramp or get hung up on the front of the magazine itself. It never did work 100%. Some days it was fine, other days it was nothing but trouble.

ammo type used? are the mags new or used? springs good in them? please describe more in detail the exact problem you are having.

The MKII is the most reliable pistol I own. Mine was made in 1981.

I've used the same original Ruger magazine, and newer Ruger magazines without problem; never tried after-market mags, since original Ruger mags are very affordable.

(1) Factory Mags + feeding problems: Check for lead and/or lubricant build-up in chamber.

(2) After-market Mags: Switch to factory mags. If still a problem, go back to (1).

Be well.

What it does is after 3 clips fresh cleaned the bolt wont close all the way. I have to push it forward.

try using magazines, instead of clips thr problem might go away.

 

[country_boy]

lol... ok mags.. Yall gotta be technical. These are factory mags. Still sounds like it needs to be rebuilt.

 

[shooterfpga]

just givin you a hard time :P

 

[country_boy]

Hell Idc I broke down and battled all that today. This is a breeze.

 

[country_boy]

They fix for free?

Have you tried different ammo? Sometimes .22's are real picky about ammo, or possibly just a bad lot of ammo will cause feeding problems.

Ammo or magazines, one or the other.

It does with all ammo. federal Ive found is the best as it takes half a box to cause problems.

 

[country_boy]

Would cci ammo be better for it? Ill bring it sunday and see what yall think. Ill use the brand new factory mag. What it does is the front of the 22 wont feed into the chamber so the bolt stays half open, Then I have to push the bolt forward.

 

[Acesn8's]

Ya bring it we, will do a comparo

I wish I had a ruger mag in front of me right now, but see if there is anything you can do to the mag it's self to make the round feed higher.

You might try and see if there are any sharp edges on the feed ramp itself and try to stone and polish very very slightly trying not to take off too much . I had the same problem and it seemed to help better. mine likes the solid RN type boolits.

Worn extractor. Check out gunkings.com for a Volquartzen E.E.E, extractor. They are only like 10 bucks. Make sure You do not use the spring they send with it.

Guess my reading comprehension is shot tonight. The bolt won't close. Somehow I missed that.

 

[ROGER4314]

Make only one change at a time and try that. If it doesn't help, try another change. I've owned a lot of those pistols and frankly, they don't malfunction. My money is on the magazine being at fault, assuming the upper assembly is all Ruger and unmodified.
