I owned a Mk.III and absolutely hated it. It has been the worst gun I have ever owned to date because it jammed every other shot. I know the Ruger Mk.III has a great reputation but I would never spend money on a Ruger .22 handgun ever again.
First time I was tumbling twenty .300 weatherby cases and everything was tight when it broke. The second time, after I turned the rod upside down, I tumbled forty .22-250 cases and it broke in the same spot right at the base.
I inherited a Lyman Twin Turbo tumbler and the first time I used it the center rod snapped at the base. The rod is threaded on both ends so I turned the rod around and after one hour of tumbling the rod snapped again at the base. Anyone else have a problem with this or know what I am doing wrong?? T...
