Ruger MK II Pistols
 

Just curious to know how many on here own a Ruger MK II semi-auto .22 rimfire pistol. I have owned a Ruger 22/45 for a few years but I ordered a new Mark II Competition with slab sided bull barrel. I am planning a few modifications on it including Volquartsen grips and compensator, extended magazine and bolt release levers, Weigand' s scope rings and Weaver style base and I' ll put my Tasco red dot on it that I had on the 22/45. Can' t wait to get it and try it out, I' ve heard the Comp. model is a great pistol. Anybody else had any experience with one of these?

I had a MK II with the bull barrel ( 6 5/8 ) probably the stupidest thing I ever did was trade it . to replace it is about $ 300 (new) and on that my wife put her foot down . If it was some kind of rifle or shotgun that woould see a lot of use she wouldn' t care but to just go out and shoot up some soda cans (Or are they pop cans) maybe rabbit hunting she didn' t see the need. Have fun with your new " toy" let us know how it shoots

Install the Volquartsen set that includes springs, hammer, sear, target trigger, etc. Cost is about $80-90 I think. Powers Custom makes good parts too.

Installed it in a 22/45 I use for steel matches and fun. Got it down to a 2# trigger pull. Very accurate and fast.

I might have one or two floating around LOL..Nice little guns.I have a 10.5" Bull Barrel in S/S.It shoots well and have never had a jam with it. I would recommend the MKII.For the price you can' t beat them.

Ok, I' ll probably get the same response as I do at comp.s, but I' ve got a MKII with a 6" or 7" standard bbl (forget which length right now-some of the guys I comp with call it the lil' *W*itch gun, since I' m the only standard bbl/fixed sight there). I absolutely LOVE mine. I' ve done a little slicking on it, and I' ve reduced the trigger pull slightly (my take up was about as heavy as my break). It' s only jammed twice, once after I fired over 1000rnds in a day (no, I didn' t burn the bbl, it took ALL day) and once when I shot a coon inside a chimney and the bolt hit a brick before fully cycling. It' s really accurate, I think that' s what always get' s the guys riled up at the comp.s, the POA and POI aren' t the same, but I' m used to compensating. I really like the fact that they' re so easy to field strip too (I think it' s funny that they sell field strip kits for them though, since they already do!!), while coon hunting, getting things in your action or getting your gun wet is easy, so keeping a bit of oil and a pistol rod on me is an easy alternative to quitting early. I' ve had a bull bbl too, but didn' t like the increased weight for the little improvement in accuracy it gave.
