Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Being familiar with the Mark II, I bought a Mark IV stainless target with a 5.5" barrel for a decent price. And I was really favoring a 5.5" length over shorter or longer. NIB. Not a fantastic price but I think pretty fair at $395 ($425 shipped). The Target Hunters are $675 -near $800 range not including shipping. LGS has one for $750. I can replace the sights for Williams Fire Sight and get target hunter grips from Altamont another roughly $130 total and be a pretty happy camper.

I have a Mark II that I have stripped a couple of times. I now will only strip it when it is so dirty that it doesn't cycle. If I shot it more I'd buy the aftermarket conversion that simplifies the task. P.S. I once loaned it to relatives who wanted to return it as cleans as received. They followed the owner's manual to disassemble; however, it was a basket case when returned. After a couple of hours trying to reassemble they gave up. I have a Mark II also. I got it 2nd hand. It was so dirty I couldn’t see down the barrel. Once I cleaned it and spent considerable time to reassemble, it worked only OK. It would jam every once in a while by having the next round hit the feeding ramp and split the bullet head. I contacted Ruger, they said send it in for a look see. Maybe it would cost me $85.00 service fee. I got it back fixed with a report of 100 rounds shot by them with no jams. NO CHARGE! So now tell my about this ‘aftermarket conversion’. Is there somewhere I can investigate it? Thanks, Cactus Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
