Mark II Target help

[Texana]

I did a search before posting and could not find what I was looking for.

I have acquired a Ruger Mark II Target .22LR with a serial number 210-87610. I am trying to determine what year this was made and approx value.

I have looked at the Ruger serial chart but could not find numbers starting with 210-***** ... any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

welcome to the Forum, I think you'll find those 'first' 3 digit prefix guns came into being in 1984................jumped from #19 to #210
I sold one of them in the MK512 ( 5 1/2 inch bull barrel) yesterday at the gun show for $275, the same serial number range, came in a yellow/black ,one-piece box and just ONE magazine

Welcome to the Forum Texana.

Congrats on a great find. Looks like a very clean model MK678.

Ranger1 I measure this barrel at 5 1/2 ....

Looks longer 5 1/2" to me....maybe due to the small picture

Did you measure from the bolt face to the muzzle? Just curious.

I measured from end of barrel up to end of serial number. I get 6 7/8 from bolt face (just left of serial) to end of barrel

You gotta love us novices .... so officially what do I have ...

A Mark II Target or MK678 or are they the same thing .... ???

Officially, the same thing! You have a MK II Target Pistol, Catalog No. MK678.

If I'm wrong on the Catalog #, someone will be along to correct me. :wink:

Thanks for the info. I cant wait to try this pistol out.

So the correct way to measure is from the bolt face?

$150!

Great buy. Plenty of money left for lots of ammo. FYI, my Mark IIs eat Federal bulk from wally world up. MKI not so much. Enjoy.

The correct terminology would be measuring from the chamber to the end of the barrel. The bolt, when fully forward, will almost be touching the chamber (rear of barrel).

Gotcha ... thanks for all the help. I will report back after I run a few hundred through it.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

yes that is definitely a 6 7/8 in barrel, can tell by the 'taper' to the barrel, the 5 1/2 inch is a 'bull barrel' ...then there is always the elusive MK514 it has a taper also and is only 5 1/4 inch..but the picture above is of the longer one, NICE gun and a GREAT deal (bargain???)

I have one exactly like it. Put 250 rounds through it Sunday. They are deadly accurate!

You got a super buy on a semi-auto that will last a life time.

Great deal on a great gun. It doesn't look like it has ever seen the light of day.

The more I look it over I have been wondering that exact same thing ... it is so clean with no scuffs and wear one might expect from a used piece.
