Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[Areoflyer09]

Very familiar with the platform and the available upgrades. Last one (22/45) just would NOT be satisfactorily modified. Glad yours have worked out.

That’s unfortunate.

My 22/45 Lite has ran fantastic even suppressed. I didn't know there was a different LCI on this model than the regular MkIII. I have a Tandemkross LCI eliminator laying around somewhere. I'm guessing it's not going to fit my Lite?

It will if you can get the factory one out. I never could on mine. The guys over at Rimfire Central have had some luck getting them out of the Lites.

Thr LCi didn’t give me issues as long as I kept it reasonably clean. If it gunned up I’d run into occasional feeding/extracting hiccups.

Ah, OK. You can't get much dirtier than my 22/45 Lite running suppressed. It just keeps on going & it's filthy. I'll probably leave the LCI alone.

TK makes fantastic parts for these. I have most of them already but am still wanting the spring loaded Kanewolf slingshot mod.

Curious if anyone here has tried the VQ hammer / sear combo in their Lite?

 

[Areoflyer09]

Loved the VQ hammer and sear. Throw in the TK trigger for good measure to clean up the travel. You get a sweet Lite that likes to run hard like that. Trigger ended up in 1-1.5lb range.

I never got to shoot mine with Kane Slingshot because it failed before the first range trip. The plunger would jam inside the hole and not come back up. Others seem to have better experiences.

Simon6101 - How are you liking the Taurus?

 

[Simon6101]

Havent got to shoot it yet. I love the feel and hopefully it performs as good as the reviews. The cold and me don't get along. But I noticed that the weather is supposed to be better this weekend so it will get broken in.

I was able to fondel a MKIV Lite today. Pretty nice, except for the fact that the ambi safety on the right side of the pistol digs into my hand when I grip it. Do they make different levers or an ambi eliminator kit? If not, I'll be looking for a MKIII Lite.

22s sure have become sophisticated, here's a couple of Colts.

TK makes one:

My understanding is that you can replace it with a washer and the Ruger provides it in the box. I assume that would be true for all MkIVs and not just some.

Thanks. That's good to know.

Please post a thread on it. I've had it in and out of a cart for 3 weeks now. Capacity is a real game changer in rimfire shooting sports

one of the few things ive done to mine (MK IV 22.45 tactical) was install a TK cornerstone. the factory thumb safety was just too small for my liking. it's still not the wide 1911 safety i'm used to, and still feels "funny" to me

That’s cause you were smart and didn’t want to spend money like CM!
