Because I need one right about now. I'm having some major headaches with my Mk III 22/45 and I am not sure what to do with it.
My basic problem is this: the gun will not fire. I can pull the trigger all the way back, but I don't hear the click I would in a normal dry fire.
It gets more interesting though: the 22/45 is not stock, it has just been very heavily modded. Things I've done to it:
1) The magazine disconnect has been disabled via a replacement bushing. I don't think this is the cause of the problem, as this is the first mod I did and the gun worked fine after just that one change.
2) A volquartsen accurizing kit has been installed. This consists of a: a hammer, a trigger, a sear, a trigger plunger and a trigger spring. Installation went without a single hitch.
3) I (accidentally) did a slingshot mod when the detent ball and spring fell out. I didn't notice it until after the whole thing was back together
4) The slide and bolt have been cerakoted (professionally). I don't think this had anything to do with it though.
5) Aftermarket grips (that require drilling into the frame) have been installed. Again, I don't think it has anything to do with my problems, but hey, you never know.
Interestingly enough, when I first did the trigger disconnect mod, magazines would drop free from the frame when ejected. Now they do not.
There's a catch 22 involved here also.... taking the 22/45 down again requires dry firing it.... but I can't dry fire it. So it's stuck.
Anyone know what to make of all this madness? Or am I *%#&$#%? If I am ^$&%$%##, can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the Bay Area who might be willing to help?
Thanks!
