Mark II 22/45 - Factory or Owner Modified???

[blueboy]

I have a Mark II recently purchased used. It's a Mark II 22/45 Target Pistol. It has a Black barrel and is married to a stainless receiver. And has the polymer grip/trigger housing.

Is this a factory original or do you think the previous owner modified the pistol? From the serial number it looks to have been manufactured in 2005.

Thanks for the response.

Welcome to the Forum!
Well,,,, it's more likely that someone has put one together & it's not factory. HOWEVER,,,, Ruger did produce some guns like that. Not many ,,, but they were built if my faded memory is correct.
Due to the many aftermarket gun builds with a different "upper receiver," many guns are later rebuilt by whatever parts that can be had.

Sounds like a P512G (00137). Maybe around 2000 made. Call Ruger to verify.

Did you ever find out the quantity and which distributor had these made? I have one I need to catalog

Ruger may provide the answers you seek. Send this in with a nice cover letter asking your questions.

....and a $10 dollar bill.

Those were a Davidsons exclusive, or parts clan up guns sold through them. I was a dealer for them when they were offered.
