In 1994, my eldest son acquired my Ruger MkII Stainless Slab Sided Competition Target .22. He added a Pac-Lite Upper to the MkII lower and 25 years later, still shooting that wonderful combo! He recently gave me back the Slab Sided upper, as he's very happy with his current arrangement.
In 2018 I became interested in the newest MkIV iteration and purchased the wonderful Stainless Hunter. I've added a few more Mk .22s since, and being able to totally disassemble/reassemble a MkII in under 5 minutes, the 1949 to present models are all fair game!
I have dropped in a few aftermarket and OEM parts (Adjustable Triggers, MkIII Hammers and MkIV VQ Sears) and been able to achieve lowers with superb glass-breaking actions, 3/32" total PT and OT settings and crisp "Target Trigger" pulls between 1.25# to 1.5#!! IMO, the Mk series Rimfires are very accurate and reliable. When I do my part, rested groupings of 1/2" at 25 yds or less are common with any of my Mk pistols!![Wink ;) ;)](https://bayoushooter.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Attached pictures are in order of procurement. The MkIV Stainless Hunter, The MkIV 22/45 Red Lite, The MkIV 22/45 Blue Lite (upper), The MkII 6" Standard Stainless, The MkII Competition Target (upper), The blued Standard 1976 Bicentennial, The MkI blued Heavy Taper Target T-678, The MkIV blued Target 5.5" (Upper), The blued Ruger Red Eagle Standard 4 3/4"-1950, The MkII Stainless Heavy Taper Target KMK-678 and Finally (see Post #37), The Ruger 22/45 Target Heavy Taper KP-514!!!![Big Grin :D :D](https://bayoushooter.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
