Mark I at a lgs

[Hankus]

I ran out of time to drive up to the big gun show in Tampa today but stopped by a lgs and found this Mk I. It doesn't show up in Ruger's SN lookup tool. Could anyone with access to RENE check to see when it shipped? The only drawbacks are a little bit of pitting on either side of the barrel near the muzzle and a slightly worn follower on the magazine.

Doh! I was scrolling on my phone and was looking for the line to start with "Mark I"…
So, 1979. That was my freshman year in HS, otherwise there's no special significance to me. I already have a 22/45 Mark II Target model, and a Mark IV 22/45 Lite so I'll pass. That money would be better spent on a revolver to add to my collection.

Shipped in 1979 according to RENE, too…

Yeah that's a little pricey for a MKI or II, especially if it has pitting.

Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't have paid asking price …
