Tactical solutions add-on receivers for the Ruger Mk II/III 22-45

[maximus83]

I have a Ruger Mk III 22-45, and it's a great shooter, but I'm interested in getting something lighter, if possible. The Tactical Solutions receivers (http://www.tacticalsol.com/products/22-lr-conversions?page=shop.browse&category_id=14) give you an extremely accurate upgrade which is much lighter, has better sights than the factory, and you can also get them threaded. But they aren't cheap: they cost as much as the whole pistol.

Has anybody tried these Tacsol receivers, and if so, what was your experience?

I've had a threaded version since 07. Love it. I shoot it suppressed only with a Burris Fast Fire on top, it never has a problem killing the cans I shoot at.

When I sighted the Fast Fire in last time (@ 50 feet) the gun was shooting almost one hole groups.

Well I finally took the plunge and ordered one of these. Got the 6" matte version, threaded with silver flutes. Here's the product pic, haven't received it yet:

The main reasons I wanted to try one:
* Reduction in weight compared to factory setup (supposedly about 3/4 of a pound)
* Alleged improvement in accuracy (altho factory barrel is extremely accurate to 25 yards, in mine)
* Threaded barrel (WA state just passed a law allowing suppressor use)

I'll report on the unit after I try it.

I am going to convert my 22/45 to this. I have the upper. The plastic lower will be ground down and hardware installed to put a pair of 1911 grips on. This is a friends pistol:

yes this is the wrong forum, but I will add that mine has been trouble free for 1k round. And my daughter will always that one first because of the weight. I also find the light weight better for recoil handling when training.
