Ruger MKII

[I Dont Care About You]

I have a bull barrel MK2

Also have a 200th American birthday edition MK1 that was smuggled into Canada. When it came into my possession, it was not registered. I did the paperwork and made it all legal. It's a little beat up and worn but its a fairly unique piece with a storied past.

NOTE: No, I was not the person who smuggled the thing into Canada. Yes, it is registered and fully papered.

My old gal. In my opinion, the truly greatest variant, the KMK678, and equipped with a rather rare thumb magazine release.

Great guns. First handgun I bought around 1985 & still have a pair.

I got some nice stuff, but really regret not grabbing one of these before the freeze

I remember guys using the 10” ones for shooting rimfire silhouette , they shot like rifles . If you ever come across a pair of grips made by Clark Custom Guns of Louisiana , grab them . They made the the grip angle the same as a 1911. Had a pair and sadly let them go to another shooter who was just starting to shoot bullseye.

would like to try a set of those
group buy?

Had the same pistol, wish I hadn’t sold it to buy something else!! Great gun

Sadly , Clark no longer makes those grips , so you need to be checking gun shows, eBay, etc, but if you see a pair don’t hesitate, you won’t be sorry .

My Ruger Standard and my Mk 3. The Standard basically had no bluing left. Sand blasted it and gave it a bath in some cold blue. Was $150 at a LGS about 10 years ago.

Awesome job on the standard and a great buy !! The ivory colour grips really pop.

The refinishing of the Standard just goes with its classic style . A job well done…
It would make a great companion for a GI 1911

The Standard took to the cold bule remarkably well! Imagine what would have occurred if you buffed it?

Ive Cold blued quite a few things before and never had anything turn out like this. I think the rougher texture of the sandblasting helped. I just filled a glad container and plopped er in. All in all still pretty happy with it. I'll post a picture of it sandblasted too.

I had a MkIII for years, looked pretty much identical to your II. Only sold it when the MkIV came out, just for the ease of reassembly... I hated putting the MkIII back together. Amazing gun though. Don't know how many thousands of rounds it had through it when I sold it.
