If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

at least you can break it down and clean it without an engineering degree. Sweet popper for sure!

All you need to understand is that the hammer must be in the forward (or FIRED) position when you install the mainspring housing and pay attention to getting the strut lined up with the plunger. I've never understood why so many can't comprehend and digest that.  I think that Mark IV looks like a shooter. Long sight radius is a good thing.

Nice one! I've got a Mk IV as well, but not a 75th Anniversary model. It's a shooter, for sure.

at least you can break it down and clean it without an engineering degree. Sweet popper for sure! I never had a problem taking the originals down. I just read the instructions in the manual and did what they said.

Pass the gravy.

I have a masters degree in engineering and I still couldn't understand how to get it back together easily. It was just unnecessarily difficult. It's not that it's impossible - just so much worse than it has to be.

Great pistol. I had to trade in my Mark II for one just so I could clean it. Keep it in my go bag.

I had a MKI for years and once I figured it out it was easy to take apart and assemble. Have a MKIII now. Still they are pretty reliable dirty. Shooters for sure and I like the Luger style grip best.
