THATS why Ruger did this........... 8) :roll: :wink:
Let's see. It has an ambi safety, a new slide lock/release, and some sort of screw that appears to make removing the barrel from the receiver easier. I notice "Hunter" on it but can't see any mounting screws, maybe it's just the angle.
I wonder what internal changes they've made?

Well Sonny, I can remember when you had to get a little danglie thing in juuuust the right place to put one of them Ruger 22s back together.
Also looks as though the LCI has been eliminated.

Folks, look closely,,, that receiver has a pivot point at the front of it for the receiver & barrel to tip upward. Easier field stripping,,,,!

That "plunger" under the rear end of the bolt is the release to allow the upper to tilt forward. The latest "RENE" has the patent drawing depicted. The patent drawing has a different type trigger shown, rather than the normal looking trigger above. I don't think it's a TEASE, as the picture posted above has disappeared from the initial site that it was lifted from. Maybe the actual "prototype" will be unveiled at the 2017 Shot Show. Gonna be interesting to pull that thing apart and have a L@@K-See. The old version LCI is definitely gone, it was unsightly anyway. Wonder if the magazine disco parts are still on the right side of the hammer.
Ah so that's what the Frankenstein bolt is for!?
No doubt a feature the coming generation will appreciate, but I've been taking them apart since the mid 70s so I don't need it. Losing the silly LCI is a good thing, but aesthetically, they couldn't have made it less appealing to me.

Double secret probation, the MARK IV will be released tomorrow, September 23rd, 2016.
The Hunter photo is of a real gun. Pushbutton receiver release, tilt up and remove upper, ambi safeties and the same mag release as the MKIII.
From the low res photo I was leaked, it looks like no stupid LCI either.
Hopefully the masses will trade in a bunch of Mark II and III pistols on these.

I wonder what this will do the the prices of the used Mark IIs and IIIs? I received a e-mail from Kygunco, they have a big sale on Mark IIIs going on right now. I would think Ruger would want to clean out the pipeline of Mark IIIs in a hurry, especially if the price of the Mark IV is cheaper (like that will happen)!

Stripping was hard?

Where your fire suit. I say that about the MkI and catch it regularly.
