Folks: I have a Ruger Mk III 22/45 grip frame with a VQ trigger and sear and some nice target grips. The frame is this one here (LLV receiver/bbl has moved onto a VQ frame):
So I now have this upgraded grip frame and I guess my three choices are a) sell it, b) throw it in a drawer and forget about it, or c) find an upper and make something interesting of it.
I would sort of like to get a long tapered barrel and receiver for it, either Mk II or Mk III, but I thought I'd ask advice here first. Seems like aftermarket favors the bull barrel set-up. So RFC: what do you like?
Seems like a 5.5 inch stainless or blued bbl/receiver runs around $139 from ruger-parts.net.
What about Pacnor? Any happy or unhappy users out there?
Any other aftermarket brands I should be looking at? I am not prepared to spend for re-barreling at Clark or VQ.
Any sources for a tapered bbl/receiver or it is just watch and wait on Gunbroker or a similar site?
Inquiring minds, and all that. . . .
