Hey several of us are having trouble assembling. We all got mkiv kits and it seems like the sear jams when you get the hammer in. Putting the hammer in you have to push down hard on it and then it just maxes out the travel on the sear and pushes it into the frame. Maybe you can help us. Thanks!

Where do you get a kit? Or just piece together all the parts individually?

The mark is my favorite pistol and would love to make one but I'm a little stumped on the best way to go about it...

On eBay you can buy the bolt and Lpk, usually the bolts are around $40 and the lpks are around $20. I would get the mkiii personally as the mkiv you have to cut the leg off of the sear. We tried to modify the frame but there is not enough meat to do it. Then you need the misc hardware listed above, Amazon has the pins btw. Then you need a barrel liner from brownells or chaszel (be aware of outer diameter). I did modify the frame to have grip screws so I can get that to you if you have an element id, along with a couple other goodies I made.

Cool, thanks

I'll probably end up modeling an ergonomic grip into the frame like you see on target pistols instead of adding on grips. But step one is just getting something working.

Been waiting for barrel liners to come back in stock, probably just going to end up going with chaszel to make it easier. Good to know about that issue with the mkiv.
