[QUOTE="Gabriel42, post: 2910957, member: 28680"] [B][U][/U][/B] [U][B]No, I seriously doubt it[/B][/U]. A few years ago, a friend of mine found an old Ruger MK I under the driver's seat in his long-deceased Grandpa's dead pick-up out truck on the farm that had been tractor-pulled way out there in the fields at the edge of a ditch that was all rusted and corroded shut and in horrendous condition. He used Naval Jelly, a wire brush, and steel wool to get rid of most of the rust, cleaned it up as good as he could, and you know what? Yep, you guessed it; the dang thing still shot. I know cause I saw it before and after. Accuracy was all but gone, (as was the once blue finish) but it still shot minute-of-cardboard-box at maybe 7- 10 yards. I'm with YG and several others I suspect; all ya'll with MK I's, II's, and III's and 22/45's that wanna get a MK IV will be selling your old too hard to take down and put together Rugers [I]cheap[/I] soon and I'll buy TWO. One for me to shoot the crap out of and ONE to give to the Grandson to learn how to properly detail strip and reassemble a classic Ruger MK pistol.[/QUOTE] Buy mine! Will go great with the suppressor you need to buy for the kid to preserve his hearing and already has an idiot mark so you/he won't fell bad adding a few more. [/QUOTE]
