Finally got the guts!


Recommended Posts

I finally got the guts to strip my Mark III Hunter. Turns out it's not so hard once you can get in there and see how everything operates. I will say that by shooting it for a while, and then taking it apart, probably loosened things up a bit and made the whole process easier than what people were saying on the internet. Boy do .22's get dirty! :yuck:

Yeah...the people who bellyache about them tend not to be the most technically inclined.

Apparently you are one of the lucky ones.

That's just BS. You are more than welcome to try my Mark II...it gets harder every time.

I agree, my Mark lll is far and away the hardest piece I have to strip and clean and put back together. I am sure I am not technically inclined now, yep thats the problem. That's a relief.

I have a Mark III, and I was pleasently surprised as well when I stripped mine for the first time. It is the hardest gun I have to completely strip and clean, but it was not as bad as I was expecting it to be. As far as the technical comment, I am sure that is not true. My friend is not technically minded at all, probably less than anyone I know, and he can strip his with no problem. Therefore, I am not sure the correlation is as strong as you think it is.

Any small issues I had were due to the hammer not being in the right position at the right time or the mag not being in when it was supposed to be.

Small price to pay for such a great piece. I love my S.S. MK II target. I would recommend a bore snake for a partial or full strip. There are some decent youtube vids of the procedure.

that really is the key to the entire process.

When I first bought my mkIII used, I felt the need to strip, inspect, and clean. I'll do so again in about 10k rounds. I envy the YouTube guys whose guns came apart so easy - I have to use a hammer and punch just to get the big mainspring pin out. On the plus side, the mkIIs and IIIs are known to run great dirty. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to tell when my dirty gun is the problem regarding accuracy, but it won't be soon.

Easily my worst experience with field stripping. Getting the hammer set just right, near the end of the reassembly, is the hardest part (IMO). Otherwise, it's a great shooter.
