Both Brownell's, Midway and Numrich Arms have lots of replacement parts for Ruger Mark pistols as does eBay. I have been buying replacement parts for years. About 15 years ago I bought a bunch of brand new take off barrels from Volquartsen. I recently bought the receiver / frame holding tool...

I was at a gunshow about 2 months ago and that day the ruger 10/22 plain jane models were priced at $499.00 plus tax. 525 round Federal blue box 22 ammo was priced at $79.00 plus tax. The show was being held at our fairgrounds in a large building. There was only a couple dozen sellers there and...

I guess I may worry about things too much, but I remember years ago when you get get a lot of replacement parts from Ruger and now they sell very little to the general public and the prices are four times what I paid a few years ago. Years ago I bought many parts for my Ruger 22 autos including...

I only have two 10-22's anymore. The 1979 one I talked about above and one I believe that was a 40th anniversary model. It now has a Butler Creek folding stock and 25 round magazines. It is my grand daughters favorite gun to shoot. Due to the latest ammo shortages, I shoot mostly muzzle...

After doing some research on the subject I dug out some of my books and found in the 1994 book by Wm. E. Workman on 10-22's. He says on page 126 that in 1981 is when Ruger started using birth stocks on the 10-22 carbine. I then dug out a 1979 Ruger ( road map catalog ) and it lists the 10-22 as...

I sent rugerguy a email from my mailbox, I have no way to post them here. contender if you send me your email address in a PM, I will send you the same pictures I sent rugerguy. EvilDr235

About a hour ago I sent rugerguy 3 different pictures of the magazines in question. As I had said, one of the magazines appears to have been used a lot. The other two it is kind of hard to tell if they were used or not. They have lots of handling marks that may just be from banging in to each...

Does anybody here get on Facebook ? I belong to 5 groups there for my other 2 hobbies old cast iron air cooled engines and old tools. I can post pictures there along with a hand drawn picture of what I am talking about. I can post pictures there for the general public or in a private message...

I was re-checking some of the mfg. dates on some of my Ruger pistols while I had the safe open. My nicest 6 inch Standard model I dated years ago and it came up as mfg. in 1956. I re-checked it today using Ruger's current method and it came up as 1955. Here's the funny part of the 6 digit tiny...

First, I do not know how to post pictures here and I have not heard from my grand daughter as of yet who does pictures for me. As far as High Standard magazines, I have seen several on eBay that look just like Ruger A54 magazines except for the base. I sent a PM to chet15 about the odd...

I tried to use the the Ruger website to date it, but it said sorry, no habla. I bought this in the late 1970's in Commiefornia at Wards. I want to find out if it has a walnut stock or not. The serial number is 118-541xx. Date of birth would also be nice. I paid $64.00 plus tax for it. I got...

I don't think they were factory mistakes. If you look at the normal magazine you can make out the area that was ground off or the mold was shortened to produce the shorter part. That area is on the magazine base front edge. One of the odd magazines has been used at some point. All three...

I have owned and collected Ruger 22 auto pistols for 40 years. I have many factory original magazines and aftermarket ones including AMT Lightnings. When you lay the two magazines in question side by side they look the same except for the longer base on the odd ball ones. On all my factory...

So about 25 years ago I bought 3 magazines that appeared to be for a Ruger 22 auto pistol with the A54 grip frame. The magazines have the loading button on the right side of the magazine and only has the button slot on the right side. The 3 magazines will not go all the way into a A54 grip...

I guess now I need to check the serial number to date it. Years ago I had a walnut Overton stock that I had bought, but my lust for money let it get away from me. EvilDr235
