 The story goes that Bill Ruger wanted to make the greatest .22 semi-auto pistol ever manufactured. So for years he tried and continuously failed to achieve his goal. Supposedly, one dark moonless night, Bill Ruger was working in his garage, on the .22 pistol he wished to create, when he severely cut his hand. He quickly threw a towel over the wound and at the same time exclaimed, “ Damn Gun! To Hell with you!”

   Just by coincidence, the clock struck midnight, and as this happened, Bill Ruger heard a noise from behind him. “ I can help you with that gun.”, said a voice from the darkness outside the garage.

  “Huh... Who’s out there?”, Bill asked.

  “Just a man passing by.”, the stranger replied as he stepped into Bill’s shop. “ I heard what you said and I have here the plans for the perfect .22 semi-auto pistol.”

  Bill, the shrewd business man he was, looked at the man and said, “What will it cost me?”

  The man replied, “Your Soul.”

  Bill said, “Well let me take a look first, I wanna see what I’m gettin.”

  The man rolled out the prints and showed Bill Ruger the design for the greatest .22 semi-auto pistol ever. Bill looked them over real close and studied them as quick as he could, but before he could see how the Takedown Mechanism worked, the Stranger rolled up the plans.

  “Now sign here if you want to see the rest.”,  The man pointed his boney finger to the bottom of a 2,871 page contract.

  Bill looked at it and said, “Heck NO! What do you think I am? CRAZY?"

  Bill reached over and grabbed a gun that was leaning against the wall and pointed it at the stranger, “Now get out of here before I blast you with this shotgun.”, he said in a threatening voice.

  The man backed out the doorway into the night and as he did he said, “ I Curse you Bill Ruger and your .22 semi-auto pistol. Anyone who tries to take your gun apart and put it back together again, will suffer pain and agony beyond anything on earth.”

 Before he could forget what he saw, Bill quickly set to work on making the pistol, but soon ran into problems. Everything was going along perfect until he got to the Takedown Mechanism. Since the stranger had rolled up the plans before he saw how it was assembled, he could not figure out how to make it work. So he made the pistol as close to perfect as he could get it.

  For years people have struggled to take their Ruger .22 semi-auto pistols apart and reassemble it. Many Gunsmiths have been put to shame and even quit their jobs because they could not reassemble the pistol. Some of the greatest Gunsmiths on the planet have even taken on the quest to remove Excalibur from the Stone and solve the problem of the Takedown Mechanism, but their Holy Grail eluded them.

 Finally, from a small village in Staten Island, a Heroic Gunsmith has solved the puzzle that has baffled man for six decades. Dino Longueira has invented the Majestic Arms Ruger .22 Semi-Auto Speed Strip Kit. This kit makes cleaning of the Ruger .22 semi-auto pistol a breeze. No more turning your gun upside down, wrestling with the takedown mechanism, trying to push the hammer forward....

 Simply unscrew the Bolt Pin (part of the Speed Strip Kit). Slide the Bolt out. Clean you gun. Reinsert the Bolt. Insert the Bolt Pin and tighten. It’s that simple.

 It can be used on any model of the Ruger .22 semi-auto pistol, from the originals back in the 50’s, to the Mark III model they make today. It even comes with a 3.5 lb Hammer to lighten your trigger pull.

 There is also a new kit called the Majestic Arms Ruger .22 Semi-Auto Speed Strip Kit Mark 3.2. This kit has a Trigger Take-up Bushing and the 3.5 lb. hammer. The Take-up bushing does exactly what is says, by reducing up to 75% of the trigger take-up on Mark II and previous manufactured models. On the Mark III pistols the bushing serves a double duty. One, providing trigger take-up and two, it removes the factory installed magazine safety. Now you will never have to insert a magazine into your gun in order for it to operate.

 So stop fighting with your pistol and start shooting it... With Majestic Arms Speed Strip Kits.
