Sling Shot Conversion 22/45

Yes I am talking about the standard models with fixed sights. It would also be interesting to know how many adjustable sight guns where made with the 5 1/2 and the 6 7/8 barrels. But my original question concerns the standard models.

Ruger Mark l and ll Barrels

Just wondering about the build of Mark I and II pistol barrel lengths. Is the 4 3/4" barrel more common than the 6" version? Does anyone know on the Mark I and Mark II how many 4 3/4" and 6" where made? It has been my experience that 6" barrel guns are less common. I am just wondering if that is tru...

Powder Coating

My son has offered to powder coat my new to me MKII 5 inch Bull. I understand the powder coating is very durable and that it does not have a flat smooth finish. Other than the non traditional look is there any other down side to powder coating this pistol?

Mark II Blueing

Just traded into a Mark II that needs a blue job. No big dings just worn blueing. It looks like Ruger will do it for me has anyone ever had that done? Can some one recommend a good shop to do this. With shipping costing so much I was thinking about sending in two MarkII two pistol to get blued.

I want to do a non drill and tap system. There isn't a gunsmith in this area that I would trust to drill and tap correctly.

Just received my MK II frame back from VQ. It now has a very nice 40 ounce trigger. They said I was doing every thing correctly. And that they had to replace the VQ trigger and modify the VQ sear to get it to work. These problems should not happen with drop in parts. But VQ customer service is great...

Here is what I ended up doing. Thinking that the sear just might work in another pistol. I took a Mark I apart with a VQ sear that breaks at about 2 pounds. I swapped the sears and put the one that works in the Mark II and the one that did not in the mark I. It now works in the Mark I with a 4 Plus ...

VQ Replacement Sear

Got the replacement sear yesterday it will not work either.I know I am not a gunsmith but have put two of these in before without a problem. It looks to me like the sear is hitting the safety even in the fire position not allowing the hammer to drop. Anyone have an idea about this? I just may take V...

Called VQ yesterday and they wanted me to send them the grip frame. I asked that they send a new sear and they are. I will post the results on the new sear when I get it. They did tell me they changed the processes lately and it has caused some problems.
