Bullitt is a handsome boy! 😍 Every time I see a Bassett, I get a reality check- they are actually pretty good-sized dogs. I tend to think of them as short-legged Beagles, until I see one again!

@golferboy426 I hope you are well. Please check your PMs, at your convenience. Thanks!

I also remember one distributor (Outdoor Sports, perhaps?) had a version with laminated “camo” thumrest grips.

“I’ll take it!” I want one like is pictured in the (GB reference) link, w/butt pad and no barrel band. PM incoming. Thanks!

I'll take these two, please. PM sent.

I normally try to not post in Classifieds, as they’re “not discussion threads.” That said, I’m going to break my own rule- again! 🙄🤭🤪 ⬆️ Members like Contender, helping one another out, are what has always made RugerForum.com great! Bravo! 👍

Agreed. The blued .17HM2 cylinder is probably from the Borchardt Rifle Company: http://rugercyl.com/ruger-cylinders/

Yes, there were some 10” MKII models that were factory D&T, late in the run. I know a Ruger Forum member who has a NIB factory D&T KMK10, with the “circled B” stamp (IIRC) on the box label, indicating factory D&T.

Do a Google search for “Ruger MK bolt racker,” and you should see some options. From there, you could “rabbit hole” all day! 😂 Some similar (or at least related!) accessory options: https://www.tandemkross.com/halo-charging-ring-rugermkiii-mkiv-2245 ⬆️ I think this one might be the most...

Several of you are missing the forest for the trees… Reread JAYDAWG's original post. Yes, the photo shows printed material- he gives us the publication name, and issue. As he states, he is looking for the "tablecloth" that's in the background of the photo that's on the magazine cover he...

@DerekR - This stainless Bearcat w/elk stags on Sack Peterson's page is my all-time favorite! ⬇️ http://www.sackpeterson.com/models/bearcat.html (I chose to post a link, vs. "stealing" his photo.) I think the smoothed (then fluted and chamfered) cylinder is what really sets it off! Well…...

Hello, gnappi- My bag arrived safe and sound, today. Thank you for the great Karma! 👍

Well now that doesn't seem well-reasoned, just based on one word... 🙄 Who do you suppose designed and built all those millions and millions of classic Rugers, Smiths, Colts, Winchesters, Marlins, and Remingtons that so many of us here love? 😂 I'll concede that I've never been impressed with...

Sounds like you're looking at an NR-6F. I think "cowboy guns" look "right" with fixed sights. ❤️ Fixed sights are practical, but oh so ugly! 🤭 $475 OTD for the package you describe is not out of line, IMHO. Here's an NR-5F currently up for auction, though methinks at $750, the seller is a...
