Drop free magazine on 22/45??

[Ratman12]

I have been playn with my 22/45 markIII love up til I field stripped it.. what a pain in the a**

I used Bullseye forum for step by step and the Ruger manual.. helped allot.. as I managed to modify the LCI pretty easily.. but putting the whole thing back together Holy Sheep-dip!! It all went well up until the mainspring housing.. got her done, but not fun.. next time should go a little better..

My real question

Is there any way to modify the magazine/gun for a drop free mags?

Yeah, get rid of the magazine disconnect.

First I did this mod and then later installed the VQ MKII hammer bushing. I ended up using one washer I made in the mod (the one that's notched) so the MKII bushing sits flush against the washer and hammer. Otherwist the MKII bushing only contacts a small part of the hammer, some people run it like that but I didn't like it that way. It also removes all side play in the hammer.

Can you use an aftermarket MKII hammer to avoid the need for the notched washer?

Not sure, this is my first MK pistol. I would check at rugerforums or rimfirecentral.
