I got a great deal in another charity auction. This is a
stainless
steel Ruger 22/45 Mark III Hunter made in 2007 from the Ruger

collection. The bonus is that it has an Aimpoint Micro R-1
factory
mounted.

I think you got a great deal and have a great collection.


A great collection of mostly non-collectibles...

Ruger has made thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Mark III Hunters. I
had one years ago, with a long barrel. It was as good as all the Mark
III's, though I think the non 22/45 models handle better. I don't recall
what I paid for the pistol when it was new, but it was about $300, maybe
a little more, from a high volume dealer.

A stock Mark III is a good shooter, but it could use some work to make
it a better shooter, the kind of work Volquartsen does.

A high end red dot is wasted on these pistols. Most of the Mark III's I
see that have a red dot mounted go with the Bushnell TRS-25, which goes
on sale frequently for $55 to $75. It's more than good enough for a
stock Mark III.

That's nice. I have a fender guitar that was produced by the hundreds of thousands, except mine is factory different. it's documented and it's #3 out of only 13 of it's kind in the world. It's worth about as much as my wifes new Honda CRV So...
I can appreciate his collection of unused firearms, with documented factory owned (not for sale to the public) pieces.

Harry is very proud of his collections also, collections of tax and
loan delinquincy notices.


He's definitely proud of his guns. Why? Anyone with modest
resources can duplicate his collection easily. He has them all
trigger modified to accommodate his arthritic trigger
finger.
As for his collection of bad debt, tax delinquencies,
foreclosures, and bankruptcies, I have yet to see him make
mention even once. And that is strange considering how he is so
open about his and the little woman's affairs. Are you sure he's
"very proud" of those dubious distinctions?

Harry seldom mentions the truth about anything.
