Kinda like the prefernces people have for a series 70 Colt MkIV veresus the Series 80 guns. To those in the "know" they KNOW where the "placement" is, NORMALLY from make to make and model to model, and correct, one does NOT "alter, delete, or restamp" these numbers under penalty of the law. I’ve observed the Ruger Mk pistol collectors in So.Kali have prefernces for the Mk II over the newer models.

The GCA 1968 is the result of too many errors by makers in properly identifying their various models, in the case of Rugers for us here, they all had the same starting numbers, so you had them "sharing" the same numbers, SOOOO, if a "cop" says I have a Ruger 22 caliber, serial number 1234, which one is he talking about ? I know we ran into this quite often over the years,not all officers of the law are "gun savy", for many it is just a 'tool'. Charts on this page will help you determine the year your Ruger Mark series pistol was produced based on the serial number of your Mark I, Mark II or Mark.

Over the years I can say far too "cops" have little clue as to just what numbers on many guns are actually the serial numbers and what ones are manufacturing markings,ala "older guns", YES,on many today, this numbering of the serial is pretty obvious, cut and dry,cause there are not a lot of different numbers, and just because the military or the guns used by them "may" have matching numbers on various parts, it is still the "receiver" that is the gun, and in the case of a Ruger replacement, ala "pac lite",the lightweight upper, IS the receiver, the bottom is the grip frame, NO numbers.just another "part". Anyway, any foresight and background information would be much appreciated. It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but it can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was shipped. This number should be used as a point of reference only. I'm concerned that when I do buy the upper, chances are it will not have a SN on it, and it would possibly look kind of suspicious having a pistol with no SN on it whatsoever, especially since its not a 80 percent lower. The above chart shows the approximate first serial number shipped for the indicated year. The big reason I am asking this question is because I want to purchase a new aftermarket upper for for the MKII when I actually do purchase it. The one I looked at has the stamp 212-XXXX so I from what I understand the model produced from 1986. Is there a serial number on the lower receiver? If not, I thought it was required to have serial numbers on the lower unless it was a bolt action rifle? then again, I am relatively new to purchasing older model pistols, so maybe there was a loophole back then that I wasn't aware of. I am looking to purchase a ruger MK II, I notice that the serial number is only on top of the receiver from pictures.

With a stainless steel Mark II Government, it's much easier to buff away scratches and scuff marks, and for $350.Hey guys, I wanted to ask regarding serial number placement. The one I have is the blued version, but if a stainless steel model were to come along, the kids inheritance will be a bit shorter than was previously planned. The sights are "laser targeted" on a contraption that one of the Ruger executives and the engineering department contrived. The barrel has a "roller-burnished" chamber that goes beyond reaming to make the chamber as perfectly round as possible and will "work harden" the chamber walls, staving off wear. A few government models (blued steel) on GB are listed at $500+.Īnything "special"? The civilian versions of the Ruger Mark II Government Model have the same build specifications that were involved with the military contract, when that was fulfilled, except for the U.S. I am curious to know if that price is reasonable. Asking price is $369, and the least he will take for it is $350. It has a few small superficial scratches on the barrel. Is there anything "special" about this model? I saw a stainless steel Mark II Government Target Model with a 6-7/8" bull barrel, serial number 219-524xx at a local gun shop that I think was made in 1993.
