Great video You explained it an showed it in your video so any one with basic skills could understand! Thank you you solved a mystery for me! and made it real simple to understand how to reassemble my weapon!
Firestarter is a great firing pin. Installed on many of my Ruger MK II builds.
Enjoy all of your videos, they're done very well. Picking up a Mark III soon.
Excellent video, thanks.
A point of clarification, please. Does your description apply to the replacement of the titanium firing pin in the new Ruger Mark IV pistol(s)? Thank you for your response.
It will apply the same due to the fact that the bolt assembly is the same.
Would it be a bad idea to polish the sides with 1600-2000 grit polishing cloth/ paper?
Thanks, you pulled my bacon out of the fire.
It's TK Fire Starter firing pin it look different than I bought from you guys, It have 2 notch hole, It's a new style?
where did you get that piece on the end of your bolt.
You should make the HiveGrips for Normal MarkIV
Been getting alot of ftf but dont really think I've put that many rounds through my gun, I have notice on the ftf rounds that the firing pin is barely catching the rim of the round like the pin is floating away from center. I have dry fired mine probably to much while adjusting the trigger but have read that you have to dry fire like 10K before damage. Any ideas, 22/45 light owner.
I would check the firing pin rebound spring, make sure it’s in the right place and not broken.
TandemKross sells them in a five pack for a few bucks. Good luck
Check the rebound spring.
@@larryraffburn-eg8wg It was old ammo. Bought some fresh CCI and ran flawlessly.
does it mean that you can shoot high velocity rounds if have the titanium pin ?
bill klint You can shoot high velocity without it.
I’m getting light strikes after installing this firing pin . Idk what to do

Can you dry fire a mark 3?
Generally speaking, it's best to avoid dry firing any rimfire gun because it can damage the breech face and barrel over time. The Mark III doesn't seem to get damaged as quickly as other models (the Browning Buck Mark, for example, should basically never be dry fired) so one dry fire isn't the end of the world. But I still don't recommend it, no matter what model you're using.
@@TANDEMKROSS thank you for the reply but for the safety we always dry fire the pistol when we disassemble them.
You can dry fire any Ruger Standard, Mk I, Mk II, or Mk III without damage to the gun. The firing pin retainer acts as a firing pin stop. Note the oblong hole in the firing pin. The retainer will not allow the firing pin to hit anything but the rim of a cartridge.
Mark IV comes with a factory Titanium pin.
I have always been under the impression, in fact some manufactures state in their owners manual, that you should NEVER dry fire a rim fire pistol. I always put a empty casing in mine when I feel the need to dry fire my 22. You might want to check into this. Just saying.

That is a requirement on some rimfire pistols and rifles but doesn't seem to be on this one. This pistol does not have a free float firing pin and it does not travel far enough to bottom out against the chamber walls. Dry firing on this model will not cause undue harm.
+John Ventshop Thanks for the reply.
WTF Ruger. A mild steel firing pin!!! A MILD steel firing pin!!!!! A mother...fucking mild steel firing pin??!!!! Seriously??? What is the bolt made out of Cotton Candy? Jesus H Christ this is not good. And before anyone says "It better to mash out the front of a firing pin against the chamber face so you only have to replace the firing pin." Remember two things. This gun has a rebound spring to prevent contact with the chamber face and a hammer smacks the back end of it repeatedly.
Titanium may be too much in some peoples opinion buuuuuuuuut these people had to make a firing pin aftermarket out of better material to fix a Ruger fuck up. Sorry but maybe Ruger should be watching this video so they can learn at the very least not to make a firing pin out of mild steel.
Jesus I am making a functioning replica of this gun (well earlier model, Mark II) and I got to this video for size comparison of the part and even I wasn't stupid enough to think I can make it out of mild steel. The really messed up thing is the gun locks Ruger provides on some rifles including the 10/22 is made from hardened steel and is what I am using to make this.
Kudos to Tandemkross for realizing the need to make a better firing pin. and thanks for the size comparison to my own work. It looks the same.
