On November 8th, election day, I purchased a new friend. I am calling it "The Trump".
I needed a .22lr pistol, to train with, take new people to shoot, and just to have...
I wanted the new Ruger MK IV, but budget is too far stretched this year as it is.... So...presenting "The Trump"

It's a necessary evil.
It's not what I exactly wanted.
So far, It's working exactly how I want it to.
I think it'll do just fine!

Can't go wrong with 99 dowllahz! :thumbsup:

You need lessons on how to shoot the short barrel guns. Sight alignment is crucial.

Yep. SBS they allow on the pistol range. Pretty good choke for 25 yards.

Heck yeah. Sounds awesome!

Just so I don't have any excuse, it's not the trigger. I don't know how many rounds are down this pistol, but the trigger is actually not too bad. I never shot a brand new MKIII, but read the triggers are not that great out of box. ??? This one must be around 4 or 5 pounds and fairly crisp and smooth.
I think I need a new firing pin, and definitely want to get rid of that stupid mag disconnect.
Read about all the issues breaking mkIIIs down and putting back together, but other than having to put in empty mag pull trigger here pull out mag, pull trigger there, it isn't all that difficult. That might be a function of it being well broken in.

Heck yeah. Sounds awesome!

Suggestion....
How about any rifle 50 yds
Any pistol 25 yds
10 shots
Could break it down to rimfire or center fire too.
I think the bugs are large enough so that somebody with a scoped 22 target rifle could actually clean the target.
Btw, how do you get a ruger 22 for 99 bucks?

Perhaps the
Ruger Trump needs a good barrel scrubbing? Post election scrubbing O0

I'll try post the game later today.
The closing of Royal Hawaiian Club had them at $99. When I picked it up on Friday they still had one left, but it was more worn, but it did has an old long type aimpoint sight on it.

Make up rules as you think necessary. I have a pdf file which seems to print out more better.

I should think if you sent a worn out gun to ruger they would refurbish it at little or no cost?

Looked pretty clean. It's my lack of skill mostly. I was shooting a mishmash of random. 22lr ammo I had lying around and was shooting pretty quickly. Mostly wanted to see if everything worked and get the sights somewhat on. The black is a 3.5" circle.

If the flies were black, then you're a racist.

This is the first firearm I have owned that has a magazine disconnect, and the process required to break down a MKIII requires multiple trigger pulls. Yeah, inserting and removing the mag is freaking irritating. And I am not used to inserting a magazine and pulling the trigger unless I am actually shooting the gun. It just doesn't feel right, doesn't feel safe to me.
I was going to buy a bushing to remove this stupid device, but after doing some research on how this works, how it goes together, and being the cheap mofo I am, I decided to do a little Bubba-ing.
disclaimer- don't do this shit to your gun, you probably paid much more for it than I did, and it probably looks much nicer too.
Break the sucker down.

Now is all good. Mags drop free and don't need to be inserted to drop the hammer.

Yeah I get the chills when I have to pull the trigger on a rimfire firearm. The firing pin hits the barrel and peens the firing pin. I have seen more .22 firing pins bent or broken due to this. Not to mention all the abuse of the barrel looks terrible. Yeah, it gets ugly.

I'm too chicken to do any real gun mods myself. Drop in parts and fitting of sights with a file it about it for me. So it's always interesting to me what people will do to their firearms. That said, if I had a beater/project gun, like a used Glock 19 or 17, I would be willing to try more stuff. I have a friend in New Zealand who will literally take a Dremel to about any firearm. It's been interesting what he's done with some of his guns. He had the bright idea to carve Maori inspired graphics on a wood stock of a Lee Enfield. He buggered it up pretty good and ended up having to find a replacement stock. Many of his stories range from cringe worthy to :rofl:
Sounds like a neat gun to perform stuff like this on. :thumbsup:

Bravo Heavies good job very ingenious! I went the safe route with mine and got the tandemcross bushing. Henry has all kinds of goodies for Mark III's and 22/45's.

Thanks guys. I may go buy the right parts later, but it should do for now.
I cleaned the bolt and action real good, hopefully that helps with the misfires I was having. If not, then when I order a new firing pin, I'll get the proper bushing.

You got some nice skills and tools :thumbsup:

I agree, Heavies U got skills. :thumbsup:

I was researching barrel changes on those. Used barrels go for $60 to $80 and it's possible to do it yourself with a vice and other tools.

I wasn't aware those where replaceable without major fitting and tooling. Interesting. Where did you read that?
