I bought this Lindsey MK II 512 GC about a month ago for 279.00 total at my local gun shop. I have been working on it to get it up to target level....I mounted a 2x scope. Did a full trigger job with parts from VQ and Clark...
Trigger is down to 1.2 lbs and is smooth and crisp.

I still can't believe I got this one for 279.00 out the door with rings and bases.

It was make 1993 and I don't think it had very many rounds through it... she is a HOT ROD now...

Very nice. Ya just gotta love a Ruger MKII Handgun. In fact there is something about .22 LR's in general that just seem to make them endure themselves to us forever.

I have a 1992 vintage Ruger MKII Stainless-Steel 5 1/2" Bull Barrel that was my late brothers. After my brother passed my Sister in Law sold me this Ruger.

Since this was a special Ruger to me I too decided it needed some modifications to make it even more special. I installed the following:

Clark Custom Guns Steel Ruger Trigger

Clark Custom Guns Ruger Grips (that I use in the summer time for shooting Gophers mostly)

Volquartsen Custom Volthane Target Grisp (that I use in the winter months for Bullseye Competitions)

Volquartsen Custom Ruger Target Sear

Volquartsen Custom Ruger Extended Bolt Release

On Target Guns Blast Shield

I had it drilled & tapped with the same hole spacing as the drilled & tapped Rugers. I used a Weigand Scope Base (that I shortened to stop at the front edge of the receiver) to mount an old 1" Illusion Red Dot Optical Sight that came with the Ruger from my Sister in Law.

I have since removed the scope mount and Illusion (gave that to my nephew) and have replace it with a Burris FastFire Red Dot Optical Sight with the Burris mount that fits in the rear sight dovetail.

This is one of those rare Rugers that basically shoots all ammo good. At our Indoor Shooting Range it'll keep 20 rounds of Remington BULK Hollow Points from the bench inside of the X Ring on a NRA B3 Pistol Target. Generally there is one ragged hole inside of the X Ring.

Nice looking Ruger you have there. I am sure it will provide you with years of enjoyment.

Hey Dri-Wash - I have the same pistol as you. Found mine NIB at a gun show last year.

Your pistol is a special run by Ruger for the distributor, Lipsey - Here is their website: http://www.lipseys.com/

1,000 of the MK512GC pistols were made, iirc...

Here is a pic of mine:

Don't know what is up with the link to Lipsey's - Worked yesterday but it doesn't matter. Here is a link to a thread that I found - Our pistols were a special run for Davidson's and NOT Lipsey's according to this thread: http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtop ... 64a6e6d5cd
