Found this at the Pawn shop. Let it set for a week hoping someone else would snatch it. End of the week I had to buy it.  Someone had butchered the Recoil spring assembly. Broke the detent off that holds the lock pin trying to disassemble it seemingly. Buggered up the lock pin a bit in the process. Ordered the recoil spring assembly and took the dremel to the lock pin. Gooder'n new now   May order another lock pin. Used a bluing pencil on the dremeled part and a drop of Rem Oil but will still worry about rusting. Attachments:

Thanks, Ran about 40 rounds through her and not a hiccup. Held a tight pattern too. I think she's a keeper. She was just a bit dirty but nothing some Hoppes 9 didn't cure. One mag looked like it'd never been loaded.

I found a stainless MK III's for $379 with slab sided barrel, target sights NIB but that is w/o the scope. Was at ACE HDWE. Didn't buy that one . . . yet.

Well then his price is too high.. I believe this was the standard model and wasn't stainless and I don't think the scope was that impressive. Thanks for the feedback.

If the price is negotiable, try bumping it down to $350 or so as the final price if you really want the gun. Closer to $300 would be even better. Just MHO. Update: The last Ruger pistol I bought was a Mk III 22/45, non-stainless, and with two different sets of sights more than a year ago. I don't remember having to pay more than $349 for it (probably less all things considered since this is off the top of my memory), and that's throwing in the typical "everything is more expensive in CT." |

Gun prices shouldn't be figured on a collection of added parts on top of the price of the gun.
I just tell them to take all that stuff off,.... then give me a price......most times they are looking to get full price on a bunch of extra stuff you might not want or need....If they throw it in, fine....but I won't make a deal on anything that includes extras.
