One of the mysteries of life...

The “mysterious” Ruger Mark III fieldstripped…
This is my Mark III “target” pistol with the bull barrel. Those
familiar with the Ruger "Mark" pistols know they are different from
most other semi-auto pistols in that there is no slide and that there
is no receiver in the usual sense, either.
The top piece is the barrel, with an adjustable rear sight on top to
the left and a fixed but removable front sight at the right. At the
moment, the standard sights are installed, but I have a Hi-Viz front
sight for the pistol.
The bolt assembly is under the barrel to the left. To the right of it
is the “infamous” mainspring housing assembly. Unless you’ve seen it
done, in person or in a video, you’d probably never get it back into
the pistol, but once you know how, it’s pretty easy. I can reassemble
this pistol in less than a minute, as can most other owners of "Mark"
pistols who have taken them down this far and farther.
The last major piece is simply called the grip frame. On most other
pistols, it would be the serial numbered receiver. But there is no
serial number on the grip frame. On these pistols, the serial number
is on the barrel.
Really nice pistols, all of them, and Ruger offers many different
models. I don't think you can beat them for reliability or accuracy at
the price.
Ummmm...OK.
