I don't know about the MK. II but they're one of the few kinds of ammo that will cycle my Jennings, so I think you'll be okay.

You kinda answered your own question.


I did get to handle one in a local store not long ago. It's really drat nice.

Or your sights just need adjusting!

You could probably save some cash and just get the VQ trigger and sear. I don't see any real need for a light, skeletonized hammer on a Ruger Mk, but that's just me. I've heard of light strikes with the VQ hammer and replacing it with the stock one cures it.

Spime Wrangler posted:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the bushing is the thing everyone replaces. It looks like VQ only does MkII bushings anyways, but that shouldn't be a problem. I guess the pretravel doesn't really bother me. At least not $40 worth of top priority bother.

You can get whatever straight from volquartsen: https://www.volquartsen.com/categor...ts/4-mkii-mkiii

I've had an ok experience buying from them. Shipping was a little slow, but no problems other than that. Replacing just those two parts was like night and day.

Edit: Though I will admit I'll probably get the disconnector, trigger, and hammer at some point to try and get rid of that last bit of creep. I found this review/install guide just now that makes a pretty good case for the trigger...

If you get the Volthane grips, it comes with the extended mag release and slide stop.

For minimum overtravel, adjust a turn, pull the trigger (snap caps/drywall anchors, right?). Repeat until the hammer fails to release. Back off 1/4-1/2 turn.

DkHelmet posted:

Turtles is right, however the Ruger Mk series needs some overtravel to work properly. You won't eliminate it entirely, but you'll reduce it a lot. Don't be surprised if there's still some left at the maximum setting of that screw.

DkHelmet posted:

The Rugers need a bit of post travel to function properly, you'll never get Olympic quality triggers out of them due to the design. There's a sweet spot to be found, however. Just take some allen keys to the range, back em out, and shoot a few times then turn one a full turn, repeat until happy and cycling.

Did you hold the trigger in when manually cycling the bolt during your initial setting? Getting the reset working properly initially surprised me as well.

If you replaced the sear properly (hmmmmm) the pull should be amazing. Take another quick peek in there. Also, did you zap the magazine disconnect with the new hammer bushing?

Uh, it is organized and sorted in one giant Rubbermaid container already, thank you very much.

I nearly did have a stroke when my wife broke the spine of a book "as a joke."

Is the reason I see people always saying 452 instead of the 455 just that fewer people own the latter? Or is there some issue with them that I'm not aware of?

The classic suggestion for subsonic .22LR is Aguila Super Colibri.

Probably kind of loud though.

In a bit of fairness, when ammo prices got crazy in 08-09, Kadet kits were loving flying off shelves, as were pretty much any other .22 conversions. It seems to have slowed down a little but they're still extremely popular and seen as one of the best .22 pistol conversions available.

Glock .22 kits make the gun feel like a child's toy, and did not seem worth the price.

DkHelmet posted:

I've been completely disappointed with my AA G19 kit. All it's helped me do is learn failure drills. Incessantly. Mini-mags, Federal high velocity, Aguila high and hyper velocity... occasionally I'll get a string of 5-7 shots off.

I'm hoping it breaks in a bit more, and I only have a few hundred rounds in it, but ugh.

Stores like Bass Pro and Gander Mountain may not have the best prices, but they're fantastic if you want to get your hands on a lot of different guns to see what fits your hands best.
