Little story behind this one.
Been Wanting a Ruger mark whatever forever. Saw a mark II in the paper for $150 along w/ a Llama .45; same ad. Got $350 out of the bank in hopes of getting a package deal, was hoping the 45 was a 1911 style. Called after the specified time and was told they were both gone.
Dang.
So I've had this $350 riding shotgun with me for a few days now. Got off work early today and swung by a pawnshop that is never open when I am off work.
4 pistols in the case, one of them is this Ruger. Priced @ $185, I offered $150 and brought her home with me.
Standard as far as I can tell. Mfr date of 1971 per Ruger's site. She's clean (now), wondering if she had ever been cleaned in her 36 years of existence. Little rust at the end of the muzzle, but it cleaned off with some oil and brass brush.
Did I do good?
