I have a Ruger MkII Gov't Target Mdl. Love the gun. Only one small problem. While using lower power target ammo, it fails to eject, probably 5 or 6 out of 100. The empty doesn't fully clear the chamber. Have another Ruger MkII in the Competition Target flavor. The comp tgt model has no problems whatsoever with the same ammo under the same conditions. I bought the Gov't model new, so I know it is bone stock.
I'm thinking the Gov't model has a little too much spring tension. Genius, right??Thinking of taking just a little length off the mainspring. The pins holding the housing together at the "ball end" appear to have been peened. I don't want to beat the snot of the pin. Can someone tell me - does the pin just tap through, or is it more of a project than that?? I'm certainly no gunsmith, but not an idiot either. And if it does just tap through, will it stay put later or do I have to peen it some after to hold it in place?? Any advice would be appreciated. enjoy Mike
