Ruger MkIII trigger needs help

[Mr.CRC]

Hi:

My MkIII Hunter trigger has many little bumps and hangups on the way to firing. I never have any idea whether it will fire or I'm just riding through another little obstacle before the real deal.

This is not good.

I have been looking at the Volquartsen parts. Alternately I can have a gunsmith work on it.

What are some of the best gunsmithing options to fix my MkIII trigger?

What are the best DIY parts kits? It appears to be Volquartsen for the MkIII, whereas Kidd is superior for the 10/22.

BTW, in the beginning I didn't recall it being so lumpy. After I shot some Wolf .22LR Match ammo, which was very greasy and dirty despite having some famous powder and being made in Germany (has the same stamp as RWS and some Lapua ammo), I think some crud got in there somewhere.

Last time I cleaned the gun, I used Gunk-out which was necessary since the whole handle frame was filled with greasy powder particles. So every nook and cranny was totally blown out then re-oiled including the sear/hammer engagement faces. Yet the crummy trigger problem persists.

I was not totally happy with the trigger when new anyway, but it seems to be more uncertain since then.

Call Ruger they do have very good customer service and if you explain your problem it might be fixed for free and they also might send you a shipper to send it to them for free it never hurts to ask, Redhemi

Take it apart and clean it up. I was going to get the VQ Trigger but after spending some time behind the factory trigger I think its just fine.

+1. I too was going to do the VQ sear & trigger and Clarks bushing, but after a few thousand rounds the trigger smoothed out a bit. If a cleaning doesn't help then call Ruger.
