Ruger MK IV Lite, With a Little Finesse

[rouchna]

Very, very nice! Just curious though, why not the gold trigger? Our gun models are identical, and mine came with a gold trigger.

When I got mine, I didn’t even know they had a gold trigger option.

No biggie! Still looks badass!

I was looking at that, the Mustang 22, the Dead Air Mask and one other from Griffin

The mustang is 1/2 the weight, but aluminum, so can't just dump baffles in an ultrasonic to clean like the Oculus. The Mask is awesome, sounds really good, no FRP, I have one also. Only downside is the mount unscrewing from the tube on my AR22 with can tucked in the handguard, and no modular length. The Griffin Resistance is really fat, mediocre suppression and aluminum baffles. Griffin Optimus Micro is really heavy and expensive, but adds full power rifle capability.

Sweet! I love the gun, just hate red dots that sit too high off the bore center.

I don't think they can do a slide cut on a Ruger MK anything, the bolt is in there and not too deep. Best option is to do a dovetail adapter plate that will sit lower than a rail mounted to the top.

Maybe this?

Spectre II? mine is awesome. I use the DIP method for cleaning. I precipitate out the lead with phosphoric acid you can buy at a brew store. The DIP method creates lead acetate which is toxic and can be absorbed through the skin so be very careful. Once you add the acid the lead becomes solid again and can be disposed of easily.

Spectre 2 was a good can, guess the sparrow was more popular and the new switchback basically replaced it. The lead acetate is why I don't use the dip. I use a 3L ultrasonic from amazon with baffles in a plastic bag filled with CLR cleaner, they come out spotless in 1hr.

Can you send a link to that ultrasonic? I'd prefer to not do the dip since it's so toxic. I've been using tomato sauce jars, once the lead is precipitated out I run it through a coffee filter then dispose of the lead.

This is the one I have. You can buy big jugs of CLR from most big box stores. you can use pure CLR or a mix with water, fill a sandwich bag with baffles and CLR, then clean water in the ultrasonic tank, set for an hour at 150 degrees, dump the bag into a strainer and flush with hot water, and they will be spotless. there are a lot of different ones on amazon, this looks like mine, but mine has 1-99min time settings, this shows 1-30 min only, so I might have an older model. https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Commercial-Ultrasonic-Capacity-Solution/dp/B01HGNM5WE/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2TQDWM3498L2C&keywords=3l+ultrasonic&qid=1681480024&sprefix=3l+ultrrasonic,aps,118&sr=8-2-spons&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNlMxQ1ExT1pXWEZQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDM1NDAzMkZVMkVLTEhQM0hMSSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjExNTA2U09PUkRDUjBVVktVJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

Oh but there is! There is a rear sight dovetail mount for Ruger's that allow a rds to be mounted. I put a Burris fastfire2 on my mk3 15 years ago and it is still going strong and clangs my 3" steel at 100 yards with boring accuracy.

(I ended up removing the front sight all together)

I believe this is what I used. https://farrow.tech/ruger-mk-i-ii-iii-iv-low-profile-red-dot-mount/

Thanks Boats! Ordered...
