This is apparently a Mark 1 in new condition. It should have collector value. An opportunity for someone. Good luck.

Yeah, thats beut of an old girl!

1986, not many left in this condition.

 

[PDIH]

That is true. I believe it is the standard model not the mark 1. My grandfather collected firearms but did not fire them (in many cases). I am keeping some of course and letting some go. This is a nice pistol.

The first picture shows the Manual and the manual says Mark 1 on the cover.

 

[WAYNO]

The item for sale is a Standard Auto.

You and I are talking about two different things. Ruger 22 Semi-Automatic pistols have four series of pistols. They are the Mark 1, Mark II, Mark III and Mark IV. Each series has a Standard and Target Model and some others.
Yours is one of the Standard models in the Mark 1 Series. Standard models come in either a 4 3/4 inch barrel or a 6 7/8 inch barrel.
If yours were a Target Model it would be a Mark 1 Series Target model and come with a 5.5 inch Bull Barrel or a 6 7/8 inch Bull Barrel.

In the Manual the two pistols on the cover are Standard models. Look at the length of the barrels.

I hope this brings some clarity to this question.

Thanks, I will research all this input and try to figure it out lol!

 

[PDIH]

Thanks for all the input everyone. After a conversation I had with username WAYNO of oregon city, I believe he has an excellent answer that clears up the mark1 VS Standard discussion that this is indeed a standard model. Please see below. Thanks username WAYNO !

Howdy.

I am a Ruger collector. MkI's and Standard Auto's are always a point of contention with us.

Originally, Ruger released the Standard Auto. Eventually they released a target model they called the Mark I. So, prior to the MkII's, we had the Standard Auto and the Mark I Target. They are not the same, even though they were made at the same time. A Standard model always has fixed sights and either a 4-3/4" or 6" tapered barrel. The Mark I always has adjustable sights and either a heavy tapered barrel or bull barrel, in barrel lengths 6-7/8", 5-1/4" and 5-1/2".

Then, when they changed to the Mark II's, they called both the Standard model and the Target Model Mark II's. Same with Mk III's and MK IV's.






Folks don't like to be wrong, and they will argue this forever, saying it doesn't make any difference.

What happens, a person advertises a Mark I, and a person looking for a Mark I discovers it is not a Mark I but it is a Standard Auto that's advertised.

On Mark II and later, they are correctly described as a Mark II Standard, or a Mark II Target.

Never is there a Mark I Standard.

Although... I can tell that will draw a discussion ... so let me just clarify, whatever you call it .... you know what your getting .... its the one with the fixed sites.

 

[Steve06]

Either way it would be a great pistol.
