Could just be the pics, but that's what it looks like to me as well.Looks to me like they built a std with 6 7/8 barrel and put adjustable sights on it!!
Hopefully somebody will mic the barrel and post the results.

To address my own question - I now have a Mark IV 75th anniversary model and the "oversized" rounds from 2013 that do not chamber in my MK II target do chamber readily in the MK IV 75th target model. Of the 50 or so rounds I tried they all chambered and 80 to 90% fired! The duds would not fire in another gun either so I do not blame the FTF on the MK IV 75th. No FTF with any other ammo tried.My question is: what chamber will these 75th anniversary models have? My MK II target has a tighter chamber than my other Marks. I discovered this with some Super X 22lr purchased during the panic of '13. They would not chamber in the MK II target even with extra force on the bolt. They do chamber in 10/22 and other Marks that I have. One way to find out if I ever see one for sale!

Then the most recent ones dropped the "New" from the name, and I don't know which grip frame they use.
Contender, the length of the barrel on the original fixed sight pistol was 4&3/4" and later the 6" model was added making the RST4 and RST6. The 4&5/8" barrel was the Blackhawk. All wonderful handguns too! My favorite configuration is the RST6. It balances perfectly in my hand.Many gun owners don't use the correct terminology when describing a Ruger. The early .22 semi's were known as a "Standard" model, and have 2 barrel lengths. 4-5/8" & 6", along with fixed sights.
