How ironic: A couple years back, I paid a machinist $100 to thread a 22/45 barrel and here's someone who is willing to pay to have threads cut off.
I don't particularly like or need a threaded barrel on anything. Other folks seem to like them a lot.How ironic: A couple years back, I paid a machinist $100 to thread a 22/45 barrel and here's someone who is willing to pay to have threads cut
You should check out the Volquartsen website. In their clearance section for a MK IV you can buy a 5.5 inch heavy target barrel or a 4.75 inch stubby pencil barrel. For the prices they have I'd buy both of them. I did. You do not receive a bolt but they're easy enough to swap. Shipping is reasonable and fast. Of course with the upper having the serial number it has to ship to a FFL location. Even with all that it's still a great deal and much better than having to cut your original upper. Just a thought.Hi guys!
I am new to the forum. I hope I can find an answer to the following question: is it possible to cut the barrel off of the threaded version of Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Tactical 22LR Pistol? I live in New York, where threaded barrels are not compliant. However, I really like this pistol, and want to see if the above operation was at all possible.
Thank you all in advance!

Did you find the clearance page for the Ruger take offs? Looks like as low as $40.Thanks Quick Draw!
I checked out the site. These uppers are $414 plus shipping and FFL fees. Considering that the new pistol is a bit over $400, $414 upper seems somewhat extravagant. What do you think?
Go to the clearance page. Heavy target barrel $40.00, stubby pencil barrel $35.00. I think I paid $15.00 for shipping and $20.00 for FFL. One of the better deals I've seen in a long time.Thanks Quick Draw!
