Looks very interesting. How does it shoot?

Is the block at the front of the receiver for mounting the scope, or does it serve another purpose?

Also, the cutout on the barrel rib for the front sight. Wonder if they did it on purpose.

Looks like a nice, old find.

I see a standard pistol modified to have a ported bull barrel. I say "standard" as the receiver does not appear to have "Mark I" stamped on it.

It has a Micro adjustable rear sight, pre BowMar. Which would have been added-on in place of the fixed rear sight that comes with the standard.

Someone has drilled the Pachmyar grips to match the screw hole pattern of the earlier framed Ruger 22s.

Is that trigger shoe soldered on to the factory trigger? I don't see any Allen screws holding it on. Is the front base of the trigger guard drilled with an Allen screw?

Somebody added the clamp-on weaver sight rail well after the pistol was created.

Have you had a chance to go out and shoot it yet?

Yanno, there are days I'd swear that Bullseye has seen a couple of these Mark series Rugers. Just a guess though. :)
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics need work.

The man I bought it from made the grips and the trigger shoe. The scope mount was from a company in Maine.
