Bangity, Modding Edition

The first mod for the 22/45 was a Lam bushing. It took longer to read through the directions twice than it did to install.

Helps that I have a pin punch to push the hammer pin with, as well as a dead-blow hammer for knocking loose (and reinstalling) the bolt stop and the barrel assembly.

The Lam bushing allows removal of the magazine disconnect hardware. Empty magazines have to be pried out if the disconnect crap is left in. With it gone, empty magazines drop free, as they should on any decent semiauto. And the trigger feels less gritty and somewhat lighter.

$12 well spent, if you have a Mk.III or a Mk.III 22/45.

  1. Thanks, just ordered. Been meaning to do something about the mag disconnect for a while--before the next time I disassemble mine, at least. Whoever thought it a good idea to require a mag and trigger pull while you point the gun in odd directions should have to be the backstop...Up isn't my idea of a safe direction.

    (If I remember correctly, MkII parts are still available from Ruger and can be used to bypass the mag "safety".)
