"U.S." Marked Mark II

               

We have for auction a "U.S." marked Mark II .22 LR caliber pistol with a roll mark date of March 30, 1984. The serial number of this pistol is 210-00311, and is one of the few "U.S." marked Ruger® Mark II pistols ever offered for sale (other than to the U.S. Government). It has never been sold and has not been fired beyond normal factory test firing. In 1983, Ruger was awarded a contract from the U.S. Army, Rock Island Arsenal for a .22 caliber target and training pistol for the U.S. armed forces. A new model was established to meet the U.S. Army's requirements (catalog no. MK678G), and this was the first time Ruger Mark II pistols were equipped with 6 7/8" bull barrels. The MK678G pistols were roll marked "U.S." on the right side of the barrel/receiver assembly, had finer sights, a roller-burnished chamber, and enhanced accuracy. Special targeting methods were developed using a (then) new laser sighting system, which was later granted a U.S. patent. The laser targeting system worked very well during production, and each pistol was packed with a target attesting to its compliance with the U.S. Government accuracy standards for such pistols.

 

P94™ Manual Safety Model Pistol

               

The serial number of this stainless P94™ is 308-02006 and Ruger's records reflect that this pistol was test fired November 12, 1993.

The pistol was never sold and had been returned to the factory and kept in the archives. The P94™ is built from hard-coated A356T6 aluminum alloy, 400-serial stainless steel, and Terhune Anticorro stainless steel with slim, checkered 6123 Xenoy resin grip panels. Other features include a 4.2-inch barrel and high-visibility white-dot inserts on both the front and rear sights. The square notch rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage. Additional features include an oversized trigger guard, full-time ambidextrous magazine latch, and manual ambidextrous safety levers. The P94™ Pistol will be shipped in the lockable, gray plastic handgun case it had been stored in all these years along with one 9mm 15-shot magazine, an appropriate instruction manual, handgun case lock, and firearm locking device.
