Installation of Laminated Grips for the Ruger® MK IV™ 22/45™

• Always make sure the firearm is unloaded before performing any work it!
• Remove all ammunition from the work area before working on any firearms.
• Always wear safety glasses when performing any work on a firearm.

• 3/32 Hex key to remove factory grip screws

• A clean, non-slip surface, such as our Cleaning Mat

Separate the frame and upper from one another using the normal push-button takedown feature of the pistol.

Note: do not dry fire the frame while disassembled.

Use the 3/32 hex key to to remove the four screws securing the factory grip panels to the frame.

• When installing in a Black Mamba or a pistol with extended magazine release, use the included magazine release. Installation of this magazine release starts at 2:30 in the video.
• Insert the extended magazine release button from the grip kit into the magazine release hole from the inside of the grips.
• Install that grip onto the pistol and reinstall the screws.
• Insert the two dowel pins into the holes in the bottom of the grip panel you just installed.
• Carefully install the other grip panel on the pistol, being careful to align it with the dowel pins you just installed.
• Be careful not to over-tighten the grip screws! Doing so can damage the grip and cause the screws to affect insertion and removal of magazines.
• Install the grip screws with the hex key. They should be just past snug but not particularly tight. Start all four screws before tightening any of them.

• Perform a function test of your pistol as described in the factory manual.
