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.

Too late. I have a preconceived notion of what that rube goldberg POS is.

I just picked this up last week. Absolutely love it, except that the front sight is a bit hard to
see. Will try some brilliant orange nail polish on it.

I'm wondering if I should get a silencer so my friends won't be upset with the noise. I suppose I
could tape a plastic coke bottle to the muzzle.

You'd be wrong about that. It's actually a pretty good target gun and
easy to accessorize.

In certain circles, if you don't have a silencer for every firearm in
your collection, you are looked down on.

I know there's a fan club for those things but they aren't user friendly
and they are big and ugly. What kind of jewelry are you supposed to wear
with them? (JKOC)
