I have tried, with no luck to find a slide racker that will fit a Ruger Mk III. I found one by Power Custom that will "work", but not without possible damage to the bolt, as it is designed for a Mk II. I have found others that might work, but would involve drilling and tapping the back of the slide, which I don't feel comfortable doing.
After finding nothing that I like, I've been investigating having one made. I can, but initial costs are too high to do by itself. But, I figure, if I can sell a few, it would offset the initial cost, to make it more manageable. I just need to see what interest there is in this product.
It will resemble the one made by Power Custom (Bolt Racker (http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=9877/Product/TITANIUM_BOLT_RACKER)), but not be made of Titanium. It will either be made of aluminum or steel, possibly stainless. The cost is projected to be in the $40.00 range.
What, if any interest is there in this? If interested, what material is preferred? Stainless and aluminum would be in the natural color, and I have no interest in blueing the steel, unless the demand is there.
So, what say the masses, is there enough interest to warrant further investigation?

Have you seen the new 22/45 that is threaded? The bolt end has been reshaped. It may work for you.

I haven't seen one yet, but it appears to be more like the older Mk II bolts. The ears are more square off than tapered. That would solve my problem. I've been trying to find an older version to trade or buy, but no luck so far.
