For Sale

My Ruger Mark III Target Pistol, as new, with four magazines and the
full Volquartsen treatment on trigger assembly, and reciprocating parts
inside the upper receiver. Barrel is threaded for suppressor or other
barrel accessory. Perfect condition. This is easily an $800 value, and
I’m asking $500, including shipping to your FFL dealer. Here’s a photo
and specs from Ruger, although it does not show the threaded barrel.
Let me know if you are interested. This pistol *is* the proverbial tack
driver.

There must be something about it that you don't like. Most people who
own "tack drivers" are not eager to part with them. My guess is that
you got tired of the take down/re-assembly process or the gun did not
live up to your elevated expectations for accuracy. Most people get
rid of Ruger IIIs because they have trouble with cleaning and
re-assembly. In my experience you really need a compensator to make
them truly accurate in high speed, timed fire events. Some of the
guys I shoot with are doing well with tricked out 22/45s.

There's nothing about it I "don't like." It's a fine-shooting pistol. I
have no problems breaking it down or putting it back together. It's the
third or fourth Ruger Mark III pistol I've owned. I just get bored with
guns after a while, and I'm not a collector, so I sell them off and buy
something new. I just bought a S&W "617" revolver and a "Victory"
pistol, both in .22LR. I'm still thinking about .300 Blackout, though...

I sold my Colt AR-15 because I got bored with it, and I replaced it with
a Ruger Mini-14, and I immediately sent the trigger mechanism out for a
"trigger job." The rifle is stainless, with the black "plastic" stock
but on a whim, I picked up a lovely walnut drop-in stock...haven't
swapped the stocks yet, though. I loaned the rifle while I was out of
town to a semi-professional "shooter" buddy, and he reported that he
shot groups just under 2" with cheap Wolf Gold ammo. That's good enough
accuracy for me.

Don't tell your good buddies here the same thing I told them about
compensators...they'll blow a blood vessel.
