Got 2 Pac-Lite upper receivers for my Ruger Mark I and Mark II

[Quentin]

I ordered a couple Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite upper receivers last August and they FINALLY came in a few days ago. A piece of cake to install and they sure are lightweight. And purdy! The red one went on my 1975 Mark I 6-7/8" tapered barrel and the blue one on my 1985 Mark II Target 5.5" bull barrel. Both Pac-Lites have 6" barrels.

The original receivers...

Nice, I have one of the blue ones as well. It is very accurate and it makes a great suppressor host.

Very nice; really like the blue one! Have thought about getting a used Mk.II someday just to put one of the TacSol receivers on it. I also have their .22 conversion for the 1911 on an old frame that I had put together. First class workmanship with that .22 conversion unit.

Yeah I like the blue Pac-Lite, too. But the red isn't bad either. I also like that the barrels are threaded, mstreddy.

That TacSol 22 conversion for the 1911 looks good, bannockburn. Since you have a 1911 you might like the 22/45 LITE since it has a grip more like a 1911 instead of a Luger or Glock like the MARK II. The LITE would be cheaper than a Pac-Lite plus a MARK II. It's about 10 ounces lighter, too. I have a blue LITE and like it. I'll dig up a picture of it along with the blue PAC-LITE later tonight.

bannockburn here's a comparison of a MARK II with the blue Pac-Lite upgrade and the 22/45 LITE. The second picture has the LITE with the Pac-Lite compensator since it does screw on the LITE threads.

These look kinda Christmasy

Here's a REAL Ruger American. Red, White and Blue!

Here's two more flashy versions ...
