Do not put in a magizine in backwards on a Ruger MK III

And then smash it flat , because it still will be stuck.
Then you bring it to the gunsmith
And he orders a special tool and then charges you for tool and labor. :llama:

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Everyone know that if it doesn't fit you just push harder. If it still doesn't fit you hit it with a hammer.

What about all those "police" photos of officers inserting AR mags in reverse to protect the public? I can't recall the source of the photos but were hilarious. (And most sad).
I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

Neither Welfare nor political office were intended to be a career path!

I think your title is wrong Cranky.
If you get a free tool and a fee for work this should day "Please DO insert mags backwards"

How in the hell do you even do this?! Having owned a few 22/45's and started to put a few in backwards, you can tell immediately...
