Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

What's the weight of that (minus the can)?

I've been considering that set up and wondering how it differs from the factory OEM set up.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

Without the can and with the rail and sight it's 27 ounces on my digital fishing scale.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

Thanks for the intel on the digital weight scale. Did you manage to do this without having to 'buy' three guns to make one?

I didn't buy anything extra.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

I asked because I don't see a way around getting a Donor MKII / III for the bolt. The Tacticsol upper doesn't come with it, the complete lower doesn't come with it. In the end the Ruger, upper and lower all cost about the same...hence my '3 gun' comment.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

Nice. I wish somebody made a more reasonably priced lower for the barrels I have left over after installing Tac-sols.

Volquartsen sold me the bolt to go along with everything.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

I really like the look of that one. Debating building up a black one with red grips eventually.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

Blake if you dont mind me asking how much did the complete frame cost you? I am wanting a new .22 pistol but figure I might as well buy a used mkIII and add the pac lite barrel.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

Looks Awesome. Let us know how she shoots. I am also interested in one of the volquartsen lowers.
 
Re: Finished my Ruger MkIII

I built nearly that exact same pistol last year! The only difference is the grips I went with and that it's a regular 22/45 lower, not the VQ. This pic doesn't have the Burris Fast Fire II on it, but you get the gist:
