New to Me Ruger Mk II

[Ole Joe Clark]

Traded for this jewel yesterday. Got it cleaned up and function tested yesterday, (Saturday). Maybe I will get to put it through it's paces tomorrow.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Like Tallball said: "You will love it"!

Have had mine for nearly 30 years now and it's still my favorite Ruger .22 target pistol.

In my opinion, the Ruger Mark II 5 1/2" bull barrel (either blue or stainless) is best consumer grade .22 autoloader ever on the market.

She's a beaut, great purchase! My MK II with a standard barrel is all nicked up and ugly but ridiculously accurate. If I had to choose between it or my 17-3, the Smith would go away.

I think overall the handsomest .22 pistol ever.

Mk II Govt Target Model here, by far my favorite .22 handgun. Excellent find, I hope it shoots as well as it looks!

Stay safe.

If I had a decent 17-3, I don't think I could say that, even though I really like the Mk II.

I think overall the handsomest .22 pistol ever.

I would agree with that as Ruger .22 pistols go but would take exception with pistols like the Colt Woodsman Match Target, Browning Medalist, S&W Model 41, Hammerli 208, and High Standard Victor being equally handsome as far as good looks go!

Really like those grips.

Thanks, they're Ruger factory grips which look great with the polished stainless grip frame.

if the front sight screw is loose, blue loc tite works wonders. mine kept coming loose and I finally got tired of it.

nice shootin iron, by the way!

I lost my Mark 1 Bull barrel Bicentenial issue in a house fire and miss it dearly.

You are going to love that one.

 

[Hanshi]

Those are very fine ad beautiful pistols. I've owned a MKI version for over 45 years and really love that pistol.

The Ruger Mark series, generally, is pretty hard to beat. I need to get one with a bull barrel. Mrs. McGee has one, and I really like it.

 

[Kookla]

I recently picked up a MKI with a 5 1/2" bull barrel. Have read many times over the years how people really liked the balance of the 512's, and now having one, I understand why. Mine sits well in the hand.

I never liked those "holster-ripper" front sights. Fortunately, the ramp front sight from the Ruger Single Six is a workable replacement. It fits perfectly if you lightly grind the bottom of the sight to match the barrel diameter. (There's a Dremel grinding stone with that exact diameter.) (This applies to the bull barrel version.)
