Ruger Mk History-Going Backwards!
MkII Lost But Found! Well, not really lost, but gave the KP514 to my son, who went from a suburbia setting of .25 acre to a 10 acre layout in the country! ;) Finally came across the MkII Heavy Tapered 5 1/4" barrel Stainless (what I really wanted to complete my MkII collection)! For 5... -

Birth Year MkI T514!! After unsuccessful bids trying to obtain the rare MkI Heavy Taper Target T514 Black Eagle (only 1400 made), I was offered one from a Ruger collector's inventory (finally got to close the deal)! Although arriving in a good 95% condition, after detailed cleaning, fitting the... -

Birth-Year Standard! Been searching these past 12 months for a Ruger 1953 Black Eagle Standard. I've come across a few, but very poor conditions and excessive asking $$$ drove me away. This "in great overall condition" 1953 4.75" was being offered without the rear dovetail sight, thus believe... -

Ruger KP-514 - Yea, another "Like-New"! Finally got my desired 5 1/4" Target Heavy Taper in a Ruger 22/45 KP-514! The Zytel lower is very solid, with the original owner sending it off to get the front\back grip areas stippled for a non-slip hold. Spent 3-4 hrs of careful detailed action... -

KMK-678...Like New! From the 1950 Red Eagle Type II Collectors Ruger Pistol (most rare), heading back in the newer model Mk Series direction! Had been looking for a MkII Stainless Heavy Taper in 5 1/4", but those rarely come up any more. This 6 7/8" "one-owner" became available w/case, an extra... -

Ruger Mk History-Now, Digging Pretty Deep! From the latest & greatest (MkIV Hunter), now close to the beginning (SN-3560 out of 4 million)...added a Ruger 1950 Red Eagle RST-4 Standard (see Post #1, last pic)!! :D This Standard is in Great shape...believe it would rate as a NRA "Excellent"... -

I swapped MkIV regular mag and 22/45 mag base plates. The mag bodies themselves are the same, interchangeable (after switching the bases) and able to be used in either the MkIV standard steel or the 22/45 "1911" configurations. If you have a heavy stock of one type of mag but need more of the... -

All Good!!! Hope everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving. We did, especially the "Dirty Bird" feast Thursday night!! ;) Seems I have "No Bad Apples" in the whole Ruger Mk Bunch. Best accuracy is with the 6 7/8" longer barrels, especially the Hunter with the RDR scope. Even the 4.4" Lite... -

MD, You certainly have a great "keeper collection" of Mk's...bet they all shoot superbly!! ;) Unfortunately, I have an original RST Vintage 9-round mag (came with my used standard), with the solid pressed-in and pinned silver base plate! Going to leave it well enough alone, as I have "6"... -
