Ruger mkII help needed

[midnight]

I have owned this great pistol for about 20 years. There is nothing wrong with the gun as it sets now. But my father has the bull barrel option with the adjustable sights on his. I love the way his gun feels with the extra weight at the nose. And his gun(for me) is way more accurate than my pencil barrel.

My question is, I have searched and searched but the only barrels I can find at the VQ barrels and those things are $450! Ruger no longer sales the bull barrel for the mkII. Would anyone on here have an idea as to where to start looking.

Likely find a good used MkII with the bull barrel and sights you like for less than modifying your gun.

Tactical Solutions offers a full upper but they aren't cheap either.

I've heard of folks re-barreling the uppers, it isn't easy and would most likely cost alot as well.

I think you would be better off finding the gun you want, you could swap the uppers when you do and at least keep your lower if the gun is important to you.

Or....

You could take the pistol to Curtis Higgins at S+H in Owasso and he could make it into a bull barrel of sorts, it would be really quiet, and you would need a tax stamp...

another vote for buying an entire MKII exactly like you want... then sell your old one.

Easy cheesy

Clark Custom Guns. Go to there website. Takeoff 5.5 bull barrels $75

Better yet, wait until someone decides to sell their upper after they have replaced it with a TacSol threaded upper. I have seen them pretty cheap. You already have the bolt. Try keeping and eye on ARFcom or Gunbroker. It would be the cheapest route. No GS fitting required.
