Hey Guys,
I have been on the hunt for a good Mark II Target 10inch for years. I finally found one and scooped it up off Gunbroker, that appears to have never been fired, got box, 2 x mags registration card, and manual. The feed ramp, looks factory new, the mags show no signs of use. Bluing is 100 % no marks/scratches of any kind.
Anyway its serial is 210-75xxx as best I can tell makes it lates 80s production I think ? The manual for the it references M10 mags, meaning 10 round mags,(the publication date on manual shows 1983) I'm familiar that some of the early Mark I's used 9 shot mag.
The question is I've never seen a Ruger mag with a plain silver base plate No Ruger logo at all ? Also note the base plate is stamped in(non-removable) and the follower is actually metal(not plastic).
Are my mags correct for this vintage Mark II ? If so I'll probably put them away and use new production mags from Ruger, since I suppose these cannot be replaced ?
Now I just need to find a bit more standard velocity .22 ammo. I mostly have high velocity, remmington and Winchester and prefer not to use it in the Mark II(I've read the manual its say high velocity is okay but I'll skip it for this gun), I do have some CCI standard velocity and crappy Armscorps standard velocity. and some expensive Eley target ammo.
