How many MK II Shooter here

[Joe Williams]

Hey Joe,
Does your Mark III have any trouble feeding those Winchester Xpert cartridges? Or should I say Sean's Mark III?
My Mark III does not like them much. The flat nose seems to hang up on the feed ramp.

Yeah, the Xperts give it a little trouble. This gun isn't alone in that! They are tough feeders even from a bolt. But they are usually pretty accurate. The Federals are my preferred choice in bulk ammo.

I have had both the Mk I and II. I ended up selling the MkII because I prefer shooting the Mk I.

Doesn't anyone have any of the old standard models anymore? I love mine.

Wished I would have gotten at Mark II. I have a Mark III 22/45. Great shooter; but, the Mag Disconnect Safety is causing problems with Mags dropping cleanly. Kinda suck for Steel Comp. Otherwise no issues.

I've got the MK 512. Use it for Steel Plates at NPCCC in Chesterton. Its bone stock except for the grip. Its my "go to" gun for teaching new shooters. Someday I'll buy another and have the custom work done.

Mine doesn't like them either. I shoot CCI anything and it has worked flawlessly. 500 rounds with these and no hicups. I have had my mark III for a couple months.

mkII competition target model, millet red-dot sights, volquartson trigger group.
I have shot Bullseye league in winter.

Gun shoots great, only limited by my skill. League shooting has helped me learn lots---I find that in general all club members are very willing to help anyone, make suggestions, even loan out their guns.
I Would strongly reccomend any new shooter find and join a local gun club!

I've had several of them over the years. Always need to have one around. Right now I've only got one, but it's a lot of fun...

As it sits now with some 'improvements'

I have an older MKI Standard (1976 Bicentennial model). It is my favorite shooter of all time...it goes to the range more often than any other gun I have. I recently found some NOS Pachmeyer grips still in the box on eBay, and another magazine at the Holt Rd. gun show. I just plink and target, no competition.

Parenting is a team effort!

That trigger finger got me my current job, believe it or not. I'd been trying to get it for a while, and I wasn't the only one. We stopped in just to look at some guns, and the department manager took note of Sean's gun handling, and asked if I still wanted to work there. He says that seeing how well taught Sean is gave him some assurance that I wouldn't be ignorant with his guns. Sometimes, it's the little things that set you apart from the crowd. In this case, it was that fact that even at 10 my boy takes his gun handling seriously. If he didn't, he wouldn't have that gun!
