Just received my new Ruger Mark3 22/45 bull barrel and tested mag release my mag drops totally free. Double checked the body is marked MarkIII (and 22/45) not II. Does the mag disconnect not causing drop free only affect certain models?
I thought they said Ruger Mark 3 22/45 mag doesn't drop free?

Wife has a stock Mark III 22/45 bull barrel.
Of her six mags, 4 drop free slick as pig chit, other two are a little sticky. Have not worked on the 2 that are slow but I would have to say that any comment about mags not dropping free on this gun are false...at least to my experience. YMMV.

i know the 22/45 LITES dont drop free because of the disconnect but i cant speak to the normal 22/45's.
I had one of those (normal SS not Lite) and they needed to have the Mag disconnect removed.
I had to return it because the dovetail machined for the rear-sight was not
perfectly horizontal. Ruger gunsmith at their Quebec Warranty Center confirmed that.
They had stopped the 22/45 Stainless Steel production at the time so I accepted
a 22/45 Lite. Hated it from day one. Too light. I finally exchanged it to someone who
wanted one for his daughter and I got a regular blued 22/45 in exchange.
