Ruger 22/45

Nighthawk

I was wondering if anyone had installed aVolquartsen 22/45 accurizing kit on their gun. I am considering it just wanted to know if it made much of a difference. I am also think of putting on a Volquartsen "Exact edge" Extractor. On occasion the brass gets jammed but that is using cheap ammo.....Any info you can give is appreciated.......

got a 22/45 mk2 & was out running some aguila hv sup-max thru & next to last one in clip ( 2 new ruger clips) would end up stuck in top of chamber edge & leave a v notch in the end, bend the shell & dent on the top side of the case from the slide..load 6 or 10 did the same...did not not have same problem quite as much with regular power 22.. had a mk2 regular model without this problem...stronger main spring to slow slide down??? clip slide seems to feel the same top to bottom...solution for aguila ammo???? thanks

I done some plinking with my 22/45 last weekend,I shot at least half a brick of ammo.So I decided to fully disassemble it for a good cleaning.I have done this at least 20 or more times with the MKII.When I started to put it back together I couldnt get the pin in the butt to close as it folds back up.So I get tired of fooling with it and got the owners Manuel out.According to it I was doing everything right.But I still couldnt get it to snap correctly in place,and when I did the trigger was inoperable like it had no spring.After about two+ hour and raw fingers something allowed it to go back together correctly.I still dont know what I done different,but I could feel the tension on the back strap as it correctly went into place.I was holding it with the barrel tilted down so it would catch the trigger assembly.Has anyone had simuliar problems.Or could give me a tip.


Thanks in advance.

How do I get the bolt out to clean it. It's not sliding forward when it comes back and I think it needs cleaned

The only two things that I can think of is the hammer strut isn't in the correct position, I always hold mine upside down and pointed up to get it in the right position. Also, make sure your are depressing the trigger while you try to latch it back into place, if you don't do that it won't fit. I always forgot to do that.

Makes since because the trigger was the problem,but I dont remember the owners manuel saying to do that.But that might have solved a big puzzle for me.Yep I bet thats it.Thanks now I dont dread next time.

Rugster,

Just to make sure I checked the manual, look at step 9 thats where it says to depress the trigger. Once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze to take apart and put back together.

Try this site on for size, it has much better directions than you will find in your manual.

Rugster,

I have hell every time I tear my dad's apart. Took me forever even with the damn instructions. The site crisisbill mentioned helps A LOT. I'd still be trying to get that damn thing together if not for it.
