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"... -

No Hope! Alas, thought I was cured, even got a great Bill-of-Health from the SRO Society. Then VQ went and offered new MkIV 5.5" Target Uppers on clearance for just $40.:mad: After a few weeks of resistance, hoping they would quickly sell out, it happened. Before I realized what was going... -

Well, spoke to Ruger and they want the whole gun intacted to do a refirb and rebluing!? Spoke to a local gunsmith friend who came to my workshop and showed me how a good cold-blue product (Beechwood Casey Super Blue) would "touch-up" and blend the back grip area with the rest of my MkI... -

Ruger Mk History-Going Backwards!
Received a 1978 MkI 6 7/8" Heavy Taper blued Ruger today. Action, lower, upper and bore were clean, but had some work to do on the bolt (wasn't clean at all). Trigger is an AMT with OT screw. Had to fit the disconnector as trigger reset wasn't consistent. Hammer and sear were honed to a fine...
