Mk III failure to fire
This is my first post on this forum so I would like to say thanks to all of the members for a wealth of knowledge. I have had a Mk III 22/45 for quite a few years and enjoyed shooting it until about three years ago when it failed to fire at a bowling pin match. I set it aside until recently since I had other projects going but finally decided to fix it which is how I ended up finding and joining this forum. I read as much as I could and first replaced the mag disconnect with a Sam Lam bushing still didn't work. Then ran across a post about firing pins sticking from the original factory lubricants stripped the pistol down for a thorough cleaning giving extra attention to the bolt. Sure enough fixed it my bad for not giving it a good cleaning as new but I've never run into that before. Again thanks to all the knowledgeable posters here.
