Hey Ruger experts!
My much modified MK 1 (see pic) is having problems. In last night's match the it doubled on me twice in slow fire.Had to finish the match with a borrowed Hammerli (some comedown, eh?). Also, it seems like it dosen't cock sometimes and if you look at the unfired round after you pull the trigger, there is a light strike on the rim from the firing pin.
I cleaned it througly prior to the match .
History is: I bought it used (rounds fired?) made the scope mounts, put a Clark trigger in, carved the grips, stoned the sear and was generally happy until recently.
Does the trigger bar/ disconnector wear out? I put about 15k rounds through it myself and its old enough that the total could be much higher.

I've had mine for 40+ years.
Most folks I know have never had theirs apart for
cleaning - and I've only had mine a part a few
times. Sometimes a good solvent soak will work
wonders - just remore the grips first, of course.
