22/45 259th anniversary roll mark

• Upvotes

When I was debating which model to get, I couldn’t find a good pic of the 250th anniversary roll mark on these, so I figured I’d share one if anybody else was wondering. I was concerned it would be gaudy but it’s actually pretty nice.

Got a black Volquartsen trigger on the way. The gold just doesn’t fit anymore.

Diagnosing a problem - if you have the Tandemkross ultimate trigger pack, can you send me a pic of the installed internals?

Mine wont cycle CCI SV and needs more ass to work properly. Swapping lowers with a buddy, I think I may have installed the trigger pack (hammer, sear, spring, shoe, mag disconnect) wrong somehow. Or either a part is not to spec.

If you could send me a top-down picture of the guts, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve hunted grouse for years and picked up this MK IV Hunter to add a challenge this season. It has quickly become my favorite.

MkII 22/45 - crack, or pitted seam?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Originally posted in the Ruger sub, and someone enlightened me that RugerMK exists!

A friend inherited a nice 1992 Mark II 22/45, and I have been looking it over to see how much TLC it needs, and if it safe to fire. That 45°ish diagonal crack looks really rough. Was it initially a seam that pitted over time, or is it an actual crack? There's a perfectly straight seam on the opposite side of the feed ramp, so I'm a bit puzzled, not finding any close-up references of what that area is supposed to look like. Can Mark II 22/45 owners enlighten me? Thanks in advance!

1st Shot w/ MKIV & Exigent Defense “FireCat” Can

My weekend range plans ended up a washout & couldn’t make myself wait one other day to test fire my new MKIV & Exigent Defense Suppressor. I slipped out to the side of my house, inside the semi-enclosed trash can storage area, and fired one round into the ground. I'm not sure if shooting in this smaller space affected sound levels much but I was very impressed after squeezing that trigger! I think the majority of the noise produced is actually coming from the internal movement of the metal slide/bolt action than from the round fired, don't you?

Probably 500rds shot since Wednesday. Can’t believe I went so long without a can. They sound like air guns. I can’t imagine having an even quieter can!

OCL ti 22 Holster

I have a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 (non lite version) and an OCL ti 22 suppressor. Does anyone have the same combo and has found a holster that works? Thanks!

Best route to thread and suppress my mark lll

3 Upvotes

I have a bull barreled 22/45 mark III. I'm debating on the best route to add a suppressor. Do I send the barrel off to have it threaded, also who does it. Or do I buy a spare barrel that's already threaded. The barrels I found were almost 400 and I could buy a new gun that's threaded for that price. I was hoping someone in this thread had experience with this process or has gone through it themselves. I greatly appreciate any advice on the subject. Can recommendations would be appreciated as well.

TIA

MK IV Lite, Osight XE, & TK Hive Grips

16 Upvotes

Picked up my new MK IV this week & very anxious to get out to the range. I borrowed the “Osight XE" (pictured) off my Stoeger STR-9 to see how it would look & thinking I might prefer a more compact sight. I’ve got an "Osight SE” (green) on order while on sale this week @ 15% off & hoping I’ll be OK with the smaller sight window. 
 It was a tough choice between the TandemKross & Hogue grips but after installing both & comparing side by side, the Hive got the nod. I have xlarge hands & both definitely felt better than the stock grips in my particular case.
  I'll be adding an Exigent Defence "FireCat” suppressor from Capitol Armory in a few days...Can't wait for the Fun to begin!!!

Couldn't resist Palmetto's price on this Burris FF3 optic ($100 + S&H) looking forward to sighting in and more range days.

Next obvious upgrade: suppressor, thinking OCL ti22.

Lobos mount (Holosun 407C) won't stay tight

6 Upvotes

Does anyone else have an issue with the Lobos Industries mount becoming loose after every few hundred rounds?

The optic itself stays tight to the mount but the mount is coming loose from the pistol (MK IV Tactical).

I've contracted Lobos directly and confirmed that I am using the correct torque specs. I'm even using red vibratite for the mount screws and blue vibratite for the optic screws.

Each time I remove the mount after it starts wiggling, I notice a layer of oil and gunk between the mount and the top of the receiver. My best guess is CLP is entering through the rear screw hole (since it goes all the way through to the internals), dissolving the thread locker, getting under the mount and working its way up to the front screw hole.

Upgrades for Mark IV Lite

8 Upvotes

I just bought a Mark IV lite and have been reading about the recommendations to add to it. There’s a lot to choose from so I’d be interested in other peoples perspective. I’d generally be using this as a weekend plinker at the range. Are my options below going a bit overboard? I’d rather not end up spending $1,000 on upgrades but I haven’t really found other options that also don’t break the bank but still maintain high quality. I don’t intend on using it any more than about a thousand rounds a year.

Upgrades:
Suppressor:
Dead air mask

Trigger upgrade:
Volquartsen accurizing flat trigger kit
Or
Tandem cross trigger kit

Red dot optic:
Holosun 507k

Case: ???

Holster Recommendations

9 Upvotes

I have the SSH(silencer shop edition) and always have a suppressor on it, I’ve seen some of the holsters that a tactical light hooks into, but I don’t know what brands those are.

Does anybody have any recommendations? To be honest, it doesn’t even have to be the ones that require a tactical light.

Thank you in advance

Picked this 22/45 up earlier this year and it’s been my favorite. Sico sparrow 22 can, performance services light mount with x300, vortex defender ccw sitting on a mount from low pro mounts, grips from Hogue and the little charging handle thingy is from Amazon lol. The hash marks are for armadillos, I’m up to 7 now just haven’t gotten a chance to update it
