?!@#$%
I just bought (today) a MKII gov't 6 7/8 target barrel with no case for about the same money. This would have been a better deal for me. I'm usually too late, but this time I'm too early!
MkII was the best model ever produced.
Ditto, I have two Mark II one just like this one only with a scope and one with the 6 7/8's inch bull barrel with just the Irons, you can't get a more accurate gun for this kind of money. Note, my MKII hunter (with some ammo) will not extract an unfired round, I think it is because it has a target (tight) chamber. Can anyone confirm this?

Have you changed out the extractor? The volquartsen or KIDD extractors work way better in my rig than factory

No, I did not change out the extractor, it looks undamaged and not worn. The gun functions fine except for extracting unfired rounds, the extractor slips off the rim. Can you show pictures of Volquartsen or KIDD extractors compared to factory? I put a Volquartsen trigger on the Hunter, have yet to change anything on the bull barreled gun, actually have not shot it much at all.

I have a MKI with the 6&7/8" barrel. Think I have cleaned it once in 5K rounds. Never had any trouble with it. Pulled it out of the safe this last weekend and shot it in a match. Pistol worked fine, I didn't!!

i don't have any pics, but if you put a Kidd next to a a Ruger extractor, you can see the difference.
It's worth the $10 or whatever KIDD gets for them these days.
I have a blue Mk-II with the long bull barrel. It's definitely a tack driver.

I will check them out, for $10 I would happily make the swap.

Still occasionally regret selling my MkII 5.5" bull barrel- The Hi Standard Olympic dad left me has a SO much nicer trigger. But it needs cleaned every 200-300 rounds, the Ruger NEVER quit extracting/cycling in the whole time I owned it- Often a full brick ran through it between cleanings.
Love those Ruger MKII's ! One of the best .22 pistols you'll ever find for any amount of money. I've seen more than one MKII that could hold its own against a S&W model 41.
I had an early MKII, blued with a bull barrel that would shoot better than a lot of rifles. In one of my dumber moves I let it go. Had several since then and currently have a SS bull barrel model.
The factory trigger pull isn't bad but a Volquartson hammer and sear will produce an outstanding hammer release. The guns are simple, durable, reliable and very accurate.
tja6435 - You got a great gun !
