Ruger 22/45 Hunter Mark III w/ TruGlo Red Dot Scope Pistol is used in excellent condition; however, the scope mounting screws are slightly flared from using an undersized screwdriver. No other notable cosmetic issues. Pistol has a 6.88 inch Target-Crowned Fluted barrel. Additional features...

I have some Remington gun oil in a spray can. It works great with just light amount. My Mark II, III, and 10-22 cycle clean with any type of ammo after I prep the rounds. I shot over 600 rounds today at the range with my Mark III and 10-22, and only had one round not work. I can live with one...

Here is my favorite 10-22 and it is a Carbine type. I got this rifle my 10th B-Day in 1973, and it’s 40 years old. It has the original stock, barrel, trigger, springs, bolts, and sights. I have added several different scopes over the years on her. If you notice the Bi-Pod legs are reversed...

You have a beautiful classic rifle. :)

I made this simple brass range catcher for around $50. It works great from the range bench or standing off-hand for your pistols. I bought the supplies at China-Mart. The camera stand is lightweight aluminum and it has adjustable legs up to 57”. It comes with a small nylon carrying case that...

A little trick I picked up from an old timer a few years back was to take whatever 22lr round I was using, place the rounds in a plastic zip lock bag and lightly spray (2 light sprays at the most) gun oil into the plastic bag. Shake them up to remove the factory wax or coating off the bullets...

GC, That's great news. I try to package rifles for the worst possible handling that might occur during shipping. :) Can you tell I am use to packing equipment for Airborne Operations. :) Mark B

GC, I never got the pm. You can email me at [email protected]. Mark B

Glad it worked out. :)

Don’t feel bad. I think all of us who love our Mark III 22/45 have assembly moments we just cannot explain. A few weeks back I was in my garage cleaning my Mark III and I completely stripped it, because I have about 10K rounds through her and felt she needed a good inspection and detailed...

Yes, this is another rifle similar to the one published in the Underhammer Society. I need to rest my shoulder from shooting and let it heal this time. :) I have been staying with my pistols and shooting right handed. I cannot afford any more pins in my body. Mommy is giving me marching orders...

WTS/WTT Custom built 50.cal. Underhammer Black Powder Rifle. The barrel is a Green Mountain 7/8", 28.5" in length with a 1:70" twist for patched round ball that has been browned. The bore is in excellent shape. The wood was carved from a block of tight Curley Maple wood. The butt plate used on...

Ultimate Clip Loader for Mark II or III Picked up one of the Ultimate Clip Loader’s to see how she worked. WOW! This thing can spoil you with loading Mark III clips. If there is any negative thing to using the Ultimate Clip Loader is that you can chew through a lot of ammo quickly. I guess...

You know, that is an excellent question. I was thinking about purchasing a Mark II style hammer, but I did the washer modification and I have had no issues. Removing the magazine safety also allows Mark II magazines to work with no problem. The Mark III mags have that little cut out for the...

You will not be disappointed in the Mark III. It’s a great tack driver pistol.
