Fire Starter Titanium Firing Pin for Ruger Mark Series
At a Glance:
- Titanium is 40% lighter than steel
- Helps reduce lock time for higher accuracy
- Non-corrosive and highly durable
The TANDEMKROSS Fire Starter Titanium Firing Pin for Ruger® Mark™ Series is a drop in replacement for the factory firing pin. A titanium firing pin is lighter and moves faster than a heavier steel pin. This reduces lock time and allows the gun to fire faster. The lighter titanium pin is resistant to mushrooming and will provide repeatability with positive primer strikes. With less deformation of the casing due to the lighter weight of the firing pin it can also lead to better extraction. The stability of titanium over steel makes it an ideal choice of material when operating in extreme heat or cold conditions.

Titanium Firing pin and other upgrades
I was having occasional problems with failure to feeds, failure to ejects, and light strikes out of my Ruger MKIII. So I did a little research and decided to take a chance on fixing it myself. I installed the following components: Volquartsen Firearms Targe Sear Part Number:3304N0151SSL1 "Eagle's Talon" Extractor Part Number:1705N0012SSL1 Steel Hammer Bushing Part Number:TK04N0002SSL1 "Fire Starter" Titanium Firing Pin Part Number:TK05N0011SSL1 LCI Replacement Insert - Black Part Number:TK04N0003BLK1 The steel hammer bushing was to get rid of the trigger-magazine interlock. Installation was simple, except for the sear. I have big fingers and parkinson's and could the sear is really slick. I had to use a pair of tweezers to hold the sear and the video is sort of iffy on the spring install. Everything else, just follow the videos. Measurements on trigger put dropped from 4 pounds 1 oz. to 1 pound 9 oz. In 250+ rounds fired after the parts replacement, there wasn't a single failure to feed or failure to eject. I did have two misfires. I believe these to be complete duds instead of misfires. I cycled the bullets through again and they still did not fire. And to be fair, the ammo was more than 20 years old. In any case, I consider this to be a successful remediation of problems with my MKIII and it is now much more reliable and less frustrating to shoot. There were no failures of any kind with ammo that purchased within the last decade.

All the upgrade products offered by Tandemkross absolutely improve the Ruger MKIII. But the Tandemkross Victory trigger will no work in a Ruger MKIII. Everything else is 110%.....

Nice upgrade
The Tandemkross Firestarter fireing pin is a great way to upgrade your bolt. Add a TK Eagles talon extractor with it and enjoy reliable extraction and ignition. The titanium construction leads to faster lock times and improved accuracy. As always another quality part from the folks at TK
