So I have a Mk III 22/45. It was my first handgun and is the cause of my gun habit now. I love this gun a lot but lately it has been neglected by me. I really would like to take up a project and get it running better than ever and make it once again my favorite gun. I had some ideas and a few products but I'd like to hear the opinions and first hand experience from others to see if these are good ideas or really worth it.
First off, I'd like a new trigger system. Now I'm not going to be competing with this gun and the stock trigger isn't horrible but I'd like something more responsive and just better. I've seen the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit and have seen many good reviews for it. Is this a worthwhile kit? And although I can detail strip and fix 1911s and my AR I've never fiddled with a 22/45s internals. Will that be too difficult or should it be easy to grasp and install? Here's the kit in question... Volquartsen Accurizing Kit
Second, I need to get rid of the magazine disconnect. I hate it. I hate that mags don't fall free either and I've read the by replacing the Mk III bushing with a Mk II bushing I can get rid of this issue. Can someone confirm this and let me know how to accomplish this?
Third, and this is the least important, I was thinking about putting on a Majestic Arms Speed Strip Kit. Not that disassembly and reassembly are so unbelievably hard, cause it's not, but I like the idea of the simpler strip. Less to worry about and just makes cleaning that much faster. I've also read that if I buy this version... Speed Strip Kit that it will get rid of the mag disconnect. I thought I read somewhere else though that this kit with the Volquartsen kit is slightly different and I may have to adjust things during reassembly.
Regardless of what I do, I'd like for the first two to happen for sure so if anyone has any experience and can lend me some info on how to do this I would surely appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
