    Ruger Mark II Gov't "US"

    Ruger MK II Gov't Target Model. 6 7/8 inch Bull barrel. Original box and papers, never had the original packing oil wiped off, never fired or put on display. I think this pistol has a special significance as she has US stamped over the serial number. Serious offers only. Private sale so no tax. A PAL is required
    Please e-mail John@wolverinesupplies.com for more details.

    Believe it or not, I am still trying to research this one. Looking for a fair price for what is a NIB gun. Just found her this afternoon tucked away in the back of my safe and forgotten.

    Super cool, just heard Mike Glover talk about using one of these silenced to get rid of targets in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'm assuming the US stamp means this was destined for a similar fate lol

    I wonder if 264magnum finally is going to jump on this one...

    Yes, he is looking for an mk2 target nib since 2018 with 49 bumps on his wtb add already lol.

    If he doesn't buy this from you John then I hope that at least he pulls his add

    From ruger talk.com “In 1983, Ruger was awarded a contract from the U.S. Army, Rock Island Arsenal for a .22 caliber target and training pistol for the U.S. armed forces. A new model was established to meet the U.S. Army's requirements (catalog no. MK678G), and this was the first time Ruger Mark II pistols were equipped with 6 7/8" bull barrels. The MK678G pistols were rollmarked "U.S." on the right side of the barrel/receiver assembly, had finer sights, a roller-burnished chamber, and enhanced accuracy. Special targeting methods were developed using a (then) new laser sighting system, which was later granted a U.S. patent. The laser targeting system worked very well during production, and each pistol was packed with a target attesting to its compliance with the U.S. Government accuracy standards for such pistols. The duration of the contract lasted until 1986, and the Company ultimately shipped over 17,000 pistols to the U.S. Army. No "U.S." marked pistols were shipped commercially during the period of the government contract.”

    Thank you Rob. I have been advised that my serial # does not fall in the US military contact, which makes sense as my gun is NIB. So why and when did Ruger manufacture my gun. The US stamp is obviously factoury, I will post photos ASAP?

    Well this one did not come from Allen Lever, she was imported direct from Ruger.
