ok here is my problem, bought a brand spankin new 22/45, with the clip loaded or unloaded the clip will not pop down at all when you mash the ejection button, You can pull it down but it wont pop down, i put my clips in another 22/45 and they popped down, put those clips in my 22/45 and they do the same thing so its definitely the gun and not the clips,

My question is could the spring for the clip be weak from the factory or are the tolerances so close the clip is just sticking and i need to smooth it out some. Or does the mark III not fully eject and the Mark II does. Any help would be Huge

Mine will not pop out either. I think it is just tight. Also it is a polymer frame.

 

[steveo3318]

well this sucks to have a brand new gun that will not function properly, i am going to take mine down and take to the ejection system and see what i can do to loosen it up and make it fuction properly

The magazine disconnect new is this model is probably your problem. The MkIII Browning Hi-power also has the disconnect (spring actuated) and would slow an empty/near-empty magazine. The polymer material in grip may also play in this...Your pistol and magazines are probably just fine...The magazines in older MkII Rugers with the heel magazine release (no disconnect) do not fly out either. The magazines also don't have much weight to help them fall...empty or not

You can replace the Hammer and hammer bushings with a Mark II and it does away with the Magazine saftey ( will fire without the mag)
and also it will drop free.
Ive been researching it

just asked sam to make me one thanks a ton, great info

Good link post nonnieselman. Of course the disconnect is a separate entity from the hammer/assembly (works with the trigger) and the MkII hammer of course does not have the space as the MkIII for the disconnects movement. Replacing the hammer and bushings is stopping hammer movement. This additional work and parts change is of course not necessary on a centerfire pistol such as the MkIII HP's. But then you don't really need to worry so much about legal issues for a gun such as the MkIII and it's usual uses... :goodpost:

I'm interested to know how the removal works until I can work with a MkIII. Until then my MkII is awaiting next trip to range.

 

[steveo3318]

ok i just found this guy on youtube doing a safety removal with 2 5mm washers and 1 10 sae. just got back from the parts store, he is kinda goofy but a good editorial and i will let yall know how mine turns out tonight when i get it done

[nonnieselman]

Im stopping by fastenal on the way home and see if i can figure this out tonight.

 

[steveo3318]

That's where I got mine if your in hattiesburg hollar at me I got some extras lol

 

[Docs150]

Looks good...I see nothing wrong with that...May have changed my decision on a new MkIII instead of used MkII. Again...you that use it let us know...There's always Brownells if Murphy comes to call- which I doubt. I've never disliked the trigger or accuracy on my MkII but I've been seeing that Volquartzen (spelled right?) hammer mentioned more lately.

 

[jagermaster]

that is really cool Noni. I will make RH remove my mag safety for me.

 

[steveo3318]

OK GUYS SO I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE SAFETY REMOVAL. Gun operates just like a mkII, first off though i couldn't use the 10 SAE washer the guy on youtube used,not saying your gun will not need it but mine didn't. i only used both of the 5mm's. a dremel is needed to barely open the holes of the washers a little more and notch the tops. it will literally shoot the mags out now and will fire without the mag in, best 50 cents i have ever spent on any gun. if anyone needs and questions answer just post it up. And it may just be me but i Feel like the trigger is smoother and a little lighter. gun was a breeze to break down

 

[steveo3318]

Also the main reason I did not use the 10sae was it was holding the sear off of the hammer. Install it and you will see and figure it out

 

[jagermaster]

My buddy RH just removed the mag safety on his mark 3 last night and he said the mag also shoots out. When I get my mark 3 Hint Hint to some one that is listing Im going to have him do the same to mine.

 

[nonnieselman]

arent you glad i found that for you??

Ill let ya know how bad i screw it up tonight. getting the upper off the lower was the hardest part of the disassembly, got it back together no problem.. i dunno why everybody has problems gettin them apart and put back together. i took mine down to each part and cleaned it up.

 

[jagermaster]

yes I am!

 

[steveo3318]

yeah thanks a ton Noni, my whole gun broke down with no hammers or hitting what so ever the very first time i broke it down yesterday

 

[nonnieselman]

I took mine apart again last night and put the 2 5mm washers in. Works great!!!

IF anybody else is interested, i have about 94 washers left. I already have dremeled out the inside diameter on about 20, so it fits over the bushing.
