    I had the same problem with the magazine release. I took the left grip panel and mag release button out. There was some build up behind there. Cleaned out and worked great. If I remember correct there also adjustment.

    I have this version of the Mark4 I really enjoy it and think it actually has a few practical purposes

  • @rimfirejunkie7427
    @rimfirejunkie7427 6 месяцев назад +1

    I bought one a few years ago. It has Tandemkross guts, comp and firecontrol. The optic is a TRS25. The pistol has zillions of rounds through it and beyond the occasional bent round stoppage, it has been hyper reliable. Accuracy with decent or better quality has been good to great, and benched with high quality ammo it can print 1 inch groups at 25. I own a pile of other 22 pistols and they are all good shooters, but my Mk4 Tac is the complete package. Easy to clean and maintain, accurate, reliable, well balanced and even well pimped it isnt terribly expensive.

    I was just lookin at one earlier today at the Academy fown the road. I was surprised to see it too and while there r several diff flavors of ruger mk4 this is def the one i want. Price to feature ratio i think its the most balanced

    I will say I am glad I got the other competition Mark 4 tactical that I can easily grab the magazine if it gets stuck.

    Nice pistol, I like my Mark 4 22-45!
    I can also attest to the military usage of the Ruger 6" Government .22 suppressed pistols back in the 1970s.

    That torso part with the head area is impressive.
    I too have one with a Bushnell TRS25 and a Sparrow suppressor. Great combo. I like to use paper plates with adhesive dots as some clubs don’t allow “human shaped” targets. And plates are cheap. Targets are pricey.
    Anyways. We say this would work when holding it over a particular anatomical area and say Well if you can hit that well at that distance this would work.
    Your shooting would easily defeat a bulb or camera or whatever.

    Great content!! Just subscribed. Wondering if just spraying some gun solvent down the chamber and magwell will simply clean it out? I sorta think that might work since the solvent dries and doesn’t leave residue

    • @FirearmFreedom

      You can definitely do that ideally it would get some agitating with a brush because even the spray won’t get everything out of there. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

    I have the tactical model modified with tandemkross trigger and other parts. Using Holosun 507c. I run Remington Thunderbolt ammo exclusively. For some reason that ammo works flawlessly in my gun. I am looking for a fix or replacement parts that will allow me to run other brands of ammo. Any help appreciated...

    I'm setting mine up currently......question for anyone. Would ultrasonic cleaning help with this jamming carbon/wax/whatever build up? We have a weapons u/s cleaner system at work, but used one years ago on my Sig P226 and it dulled the whole gun's finish. Not sure if it was the nitride that was stripped off or what. I've not used one since except on duty weapons.

    • @FirearmFreedom
      @FirearmFreedom  6 месяцев назад

      So with any gun you just want to make sure that the cleaning liquid in the ultrasonic is not gonna be to rough on whatever finish the gun has. Also yes it should help with any wax/lead build up.

    Are you psychic? Every time I start thinking about getting another pistol you review one of the 2 that I’m considering. The ruger is an amazing 22. Do you have a review on the S&W Victory also? Keep up the excellent reviews Sir. Your Definitely my favorite gun guy

    • @rimfirejunkie7427
      @rimfirejunkie7427 6 месяцев назад

      I own a Victory, among other 22s.
      Pros- Easy on the wallet and parity with quality of the Bucky and Rugers.
      Accurate above its price point.
      Easy, TOOLED Take-down, simple design.
      High vis sights.
      Cons- Round butt grips. They taper all wrong for a target pistol, but they are comfortable.
      Mine refused to eject many, many types of ammo. The ejector is a welded piece of steel in the upper, so a slight bend cured the problem. Bending pieces to make a gun work......yeah.
      Factory scope rail is a POS. Period.
      Price point guts and trigger.
      Definitely the least accurate compared to Buckys or Rugers
      So if you had $500 to drop on a quality target style pistol, it is not the worst option, just not the best. I would find the Ruger or Bucky in the configuration you like and buy that.
      All being said- I added a Volquartsen barrel, grips, Tandemkross guts and firecontrol, and their optic plate and Burris FastFire.
      My Victory now shoots really damn good. But, I added $600-$700 worth of parts to a $450 pistol to make it shoot as well as my $00 Mk4....

    Could you review the TAURUSTX 22 Competition SCR. I'm trying to decide whether to buy it or the Ruger MARK IV 22/45 TACTICAL. I'm a casual shooter and I own a 1911 45 ACP also. The money difference isn't a big difference maker for me. I'm probably going to buy a suppresser that I can shoot on multiple guns. I'm probably going to mount a Red Dot sight also. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.

    I have the exact model, this gun is so sweet that I've failed finding a used one in the market. (just for the sake of seeing how much it pays as used.)
    I've got a suppressor, a cheap red dot for it, although red dot is cheap, it works good enough and from 25 meters away can get good groups with it.
    The next thing I want to buy for it is a full metal butt stock that would be attached to the upper rail and makes it a short barrel rifle. (kind of) 😅
    Used mostly Cci standard or Blazer and sofar, after around 500 rounds it only had a fail to feed a new round.
    Using suppressor makes the lower very dirty, maybe that's why you got the mag release issues.
