I just finished installing the TandemKross hammer bushing also. Easy peasy if you don't push the the hammer pin all the way out.....Just installed the Tandemkross hammer bushing (to replace magazine disconnect) on two Mark IIIs. I couldn't be more satisfied. The quality of the bushing is first rate, fit is perfect, and all expected results are great. Good instructions are included, but for those familiar with Mark detailed strip and re-assembly, the install was a piece of cake. Great product !!

Had a customer put a mag in backwards in a Ruger mk3 22 and what an
ordeal. I had to make a very special tool and it was still a bear. Ruger
has a gig going on here that is about $60 for the removal of the mag
according to the customer. A good heads up is to stay away from the mk3.
Ruger has it fixed so that very little work can be done without the mag
in the right direction much less the wrong way. They have created a
safety hazard for no reason with the mag issue. I can understand someone
accidentally putting a mag in the wrong way in the dark or just by not
paying attention but this design flaw is beyond comprehension. I cant
wait until one of the home gunsmiths accidentally get shot working on
one of these mk3s putting a hot mag in the pistol forgetting it has a
round in it as this is an accident waiting to happen.
The on line tool isn't much help also. Need to post this on PS and
sniper hide and all forms you visit. I don't like to kick a product line
but this a poor design.

I actually called Tandencross and discussed changing their instructions so the user moves the hammer pin just far enough to release the hammer assembly, while keeping the sear, spring, and safety in place. What a pain to reassemble if the whole works drops out. Good luck.I just finished installing the TandemKross hammer bushing also.

Youtube is your best friend if you own one of these pistols.I watched a youtube video on the installment and I knew not to push the hammer pin too far, but I slipped and oops.Got it back together and the slide wouldn't come back.
Had to watch another youtube video to learn that the sear had to be in the right position, which it wasn't after I let everything fall apart. Once I had that figured out, no problem. Don't know what I would have done without 'youtube' saving my butt.
