Look at Altamont grips. Beautiful stuff. I have rosewood grips from them for my 22/45 as well as my Colt Woodsman. A google search will find them quickly but I think they are at http://altamont.com

There's for sure many for sale on GunBroker or GunsAmerica.

There's for sure many for sale on GunBroker or GunsAmerica.

I've gotten many a rifle from Gunbroker and Auctionarms, but from what I've read, it's a hassle to get a pistol into California.

It's easier to get them from the LGS.

Just saw a video last night about the Marlin 795... Gotta keep myself occupied while I wait.

It's not an issue for anything on the approved list - that's how I got my stainless Target, and I'm in CA. You can check the list yourself here http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/safeguns_resp.asp

MKIII512 / Steel Pistol 5.5" .22 LR 8/10/2012
MKIII512-60 (Black) / Blued Steel Pistol 5.5" .22 LR 11/13/2012
MKIII512GCL / Blued Steel Pistol 5.5" .22 LR 11/16/2012
P512MKIII / Steel, Polymer

I'm not saying you have to go this way, but since you're saying that your LGSs are out of stock, and you really want one, I'm just offering alternatives.

Good to know. More knowledge and options are a good thing.

Unfortunately, I'm fully committed to the LGS MKIII (meaning: already paid in full, and cancelling would mean I'm out $126+).

I guess, the question is how great of a deal can I find in a used 22/45 and still be able to keep the not-yet-in-stock MKIII order? Just gotta be 30 days between them, right? I'm just dreaming.

 

[kb58]

Yes, 30-days between DROS applications... and make it 31 to be sure, else they punt you out of the system at the end of the 10-day period and you have to start over, ugh.

I hope you find and get what you want. I wanted to get the standard MK III witht he shorter tapered barrel. I called a number of LGS - usually the answer was "yeh, we normally carry 'em but they've been leaving the shelf almost as fast as we can get 'em in. I hit Sportsman's Warehouse up in Tucson and although they didn't have what I was looking for, they did have one blued MK III Target model with the bull barrel. Not knowing when I'd run across one of the standard models with the shorter tapered barrel, I snapped up the Target model. I'm glad I did as I love it. You'll run across what you're looking for. Best of luck to you! :bthumb:

 

[tk1971]

Just stopped by my LGS on my way back from lunch. I'm glad I did. Apparently they "just" got more in stock (they even had one on display) and one serial number has been allocated to me.

My 10 days start now...

Thanks all, for the advice. I'm going to have to call Ruger to see if I can get Hunter grips.

May your 10 days pass quickly!

Nice. Thanks for the link. I'm keeping my options open, but I'm still digging the look of the Hunter grips.
