Traded a Ruger for a Ruger

[Pelo801]

Traded a LC9 and box of ammo for this and a brick of ammo.

Took her out today and I have to say I'm pretty happy with how she handles.

Well done, sir.

You made out very well in that trade. I feel a bit sorry for the other guy.

Nice! I wish I could trade my LC9 for my father in law's awesome Ruger 22 auto! When I offered the deal to him he laughed hysterically for a good long time. You done good.

Love those guns but they are awful to reassemble after a thorough cleaning.

Nice trade on what looks to be a rather vintage Ruger .22 auto.

A nice MKII is a modern classic...well done sir.

Congrats. I have owned several MkI and MkII over the years. Nothing to a teardown reassembly after you get used to it.

 

[Pelo801]

I believe this is the standard model. It has fixed sights. I looked up the serial number. Manufactured in 1964. Has a tiny amount of wear on it, but the mag springs are pretty stiff. Like they've hardly been used. I've never owned one of these or shot one. I was surprised how easy it was to shoot well with it.

Yeah, the other guy probably thought he was getting a good deal. He was getting a new "modern" gun and I was getting this 50ish year old gun that was good for taking the kids shooting. But he approached me with the trade offer and I had always wanted one of these, so I accepted.

Why, the other guy might have been really wanting a 9mm CCW piece and never used the Mark II.

No they aren't. Ruger includes a very good manual with photos. Use it.

Good trade.
