i've had 2 rugers still have one and both had problems, call Ruger see
what say. i have sent both back on their dime. They fixed both
and i never had any further problems. They test them with CCI
ammo.

Loaded Chamber Indicator. Mark IIIs are notorious. Slide a thin piece of cardboard under it to keep it in place. Problem will go away. Looks stupid, shouldn't be needed, but works.
I had one that was a steaming piece of schumer until I put in a Vorquatsen extractor. Ran like a champ after that.

Yup that was it. Pulled the LCI. And she purred in competition tonight. Only problem was the sight was way off and shot a wonderful 110
I was reading in the 22/45 forum on Rimfirecentral.com that someone now makes a blank filler to go into the slot where the LCI is. As a permanent fix, this may be in your future.
Got a link?
EDIT: Found this thread here
I also came across this guys vid suggesting you can just remove the plate. I may just try that.

If you remove the LCI and the mag safety, you have a MKII. Just a thought.
Thats right. So if you were planning to put in a power custom or Volqhartson trigger, which removes the mag safety, then a Mk III might be preferable.
