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.
 
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 :)

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.

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?
 
I owned one of these some years ago....as I remember alan lever purchased the contract overrun pistols directly from ruger
 
That pistol is worth about 1300.00 Canadian worth more in the states but because of that us stamp it can’t be imported into the states. I would make an offer but with my old eyes I would have to drill and tap for a scope mount to add a red dot and that would be a shame
 
The first offer of $1,000.00 plus shipping/insurance can purchase her. Private sale so no tax, payment by MO, cheque or EMT. Complete in the box with all original papers. I can't find the test target. Email me for photos.
Thanks for all the input.
 
If this has a serial number prefix of 210 it would have been part of the run of these done for the military
 
I Beleive this is a very good deal I emailed and received the pics it is a beautiful mk2 and iam probably gonna give her a new home just waiting on pics of box and paperwork to verify something if it checks out and still available iam gonna scoop this one up as it could be a decent investment
