I found a couple on my want list. Recent finds.....

I found a couple of MkI's. On the left is a heavy barrel target MkI with the factory compensator/brake made 1961.
On the right is an early bull-barrel MkI with factory thumb rest target grips made 1965.
Both are in excellent condition.

Y'all are determined to get me into collecting these things. Lol

And here I thought you were a poser ;) ;)_

 

[Threespears]

Very nice

 

[Threespears]

Is your comp marked “inc” or “co”
There were two different ones made

 

[ArizonaTea123]

It's marked "CO"

 

[Taterman]

They are beauts!

Nice, looks like the front sight of the tapered barrel model was altered or changed. That model should have the undercut front sight.

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Sweet pair of shooters.
Terry
NH Rugerman...good eye!!

 

[ArizonaTea123]

This is the front sight you speak of.

 

[contender]

Nice pair! The muzzle brake is a great addition.

Nice.
Now the hunt continues until the “INC” is found

 

[ArizonaTea123]

MkI target grips must be rare as hens teeth. I see MkII's everywhere but MkI's I haven't been able to find.

they are out there, I just sent some, a few weeks ago out to N Dakota, last ones we had here.......cleaning out, never know what we may come across......:unsure::cool::rolleyes:

appears your T-678 someone "ramped" the front blade, removed the "can opener" back cut ( reversed notch?)..if they did it ;right" they should have recut serrations up th e ramp....the blades are standard, and are out there ( here tucked away in drawers someplace in the basement):confused:

I've seen the original pictured front sight somewhere before.

Very nice. I had a 5.5" HB mk 1 many years ago. I remember I paid $100 OTD at the gunshop where I was working part-time.

Yes, that is what you need to bring your gun back to original factory. Good luck.

I bought my first Ruger standard model back around 1966 or so, it had the shorter barrel, fixed sights. I instantly wished I had bought the Target model, and really preferred the 5.5 inch heavy bbl but the shop I bought from only had the longer tapered barrel Target model so being the impatient type I bought it. By the time I bought my preferred barrel length and profile it was a MKII. I always thought the MKI series had a better trigger pull than the MKII but that may have been in my head.

Call me old-fashioned but I really like the early Standard Model and MkI/ MkII pistols.
