The left side of the barrel is marked with “.308 WIN” and a Ruger proof mark. The left side of the receiver is marked “780-34406”, and “RUGER M77 ® MARK II”. The bolt is serial matching, and hand-scribed “34406” and initials that can not be seen clearly. The grip cap and buttpad are marked with a Ruger phoenix logo. Ruger does not produce firearms in serial number order. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. A minty Ruger MK II Target model, serial number 19-78319 made in 1984, 5 1/2' barrel with excellent bore, Pachmayr grips in addition to the original grips, pachmayr grips are gloued on, a great little target pistol. FFL including Arizona residents, MO or cashier's check or peronal check.

Posts: 9 | I did a search before posting and could not find what I was looking for.
I have acquired a Ruger Mark II Target .22LR with a serial number 210-87610. I am trying to determine what year this was made and approx value.
I have looked at the Ruger serial chart but could not find numbers starting with 210-***** ... any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Location: Ohio , U.S.A. | welcome to the Forum, I think you'll find those 'first' 3 digit prefix guns came into being in 1984................jumped from #19 to #210
I sold one of them in the MK512 ( 5 1/2 inch bull barrel) yesterday at the gun show for $275, the same serial number range, came in a yellow/black ,one-piece box and just ONE magazine

I measured from end of barrel up to end of serial number. I get 6 7/8 from bolt face (just left of serial) to end of barrel You gotta love us novices .... so officially what do I have ... A Mark II Target or MK678 or are they the same thing .... ???

So the correct way to measure is from the bolt face? The correct terminology would be measuring from the chamber to the end of the barrel. The bolt, when fully forward, will almost be touching the chamber (rear of barrel).

Location: Ohio , U.S.A. | yes that is definitely a 6 7/8 in barrel, can tell by the 'taper' to the barrel, the 5 1/2 inch is a 'bull barrel' ...then there is always the elusive MK514 it has a taper also and is only 5 1/4 inch..but the picture above is of the longer one, NICE gun and a GREAT deal (bargain???)

Post subject:Three Screw Single Six Date of Manufacture? |

Location: Land of the Pilgrims | Howdy
Last week I picked up a nice three screw Single Six, the version with adjustable sights. 5 1/2' barrel. I would like to determine when it was made. SN is 5421XX. According to the information on the Ruger website, SN 187367 was the first SN produced in 1962. The next data point is SN 20-00001 in 1969. Nothing in between. Does anybody have some slightly more detailed information about when my 'new' Single Six was made?
Thanks

I thought Super meant it came with two cylinders. This one only has the 22LR cylinder, but I suppose a Mag cylinder may have existed at some time. Anyhow, it does have adjustable sights, and your information seems a bit more in the ball park.
Thanks

Location: People's Republik of Kalifornia | 2 cylinders = Convertible, I think Absolutely correct. They have an X on the end of the catalog # to indicate 'Extra Cylinder'. Both Single Sixes and Super SSs came in convertible models.

Thanks Hi Driftwood, The Supers were in a separate serial number range. which are on a different page from the one that you looked at. I wouldn't mind finding one. Was it a good price?

Location: Vinton, VA | The Super Single-Six Old Models had the following model numbers:
SC4
SC5
SC6
The 'S' ment Super. The 'C' meant convertible and the 4,5,6 meant 4 5/8 in. bl.,5 1/2 in. bl., 6 1/2 in. bl. All Super Single Sixes were Convertibles except for one or more of the Factory Plated guns that was sold to employees.

Makes my Old Model Single-Six 5 1/2' (20-218XX) a circa 1969 standard model covertable (although it only had the 22MAG cylinder with it when I bought it even though it's in mint condition).

Makes my Old Model Single-Six 5 1/2' (20-218XX) a circa 1969 standard model covertable (although it only had the 22MAG cylinder with it when I bought it even though it's in mint condition). Some of those Old Model Single-Sixes with the 20 and 21 prefix with the 5 1/2 in. bl. were single cylinder guns. But they were .22 only. Not .22 Mag only. After Ruger started making the convertibles in late 1959 or 1960, not real sure of the date, almost all Single-Sixes were convertibles. They made a few 6 1/2 in. bl. guns in .22 Mag. only and they made a few 5 1/2 in bl. guns in .22 only. Anyone having a 5 1/2 in bl. Single-Six with only a .22 cylinder, needs to call Ruger to get a letter. You will find a lot of guns with only the .22 cylinder but most of them are missing the Mag. cylinder. So far all Old Model Single-Sixes with 4 5/8 in. bl. and 9 1/2 bl. will be a convertible.

Thanks Guns that got out the door in a configuration that ws not shown or listed in the catalog and usually in very small quantities. The SC4's mentioned by flatgate were 'non cataloged'. They turn into great collectibles. What's the details on it, unusual barrel length?

Sure! It means a Double Action Ruger Revolver in such a configuration that it does NOT match anything shown in the catalogs. Now, is it a 'Ruger Made' configuration or was it done after it was shipped from the Factory? flatgate

Now, is it a 'Ruger Made' configuration or was it done after it was shipped from the Factory? flatgate Thanks Flatgate. For you and Hondo44, please forgive me in saying at this time I have two questions for the gentleman that I am awaiting a return phone call on. Depending on his answers, I'm either buying it or passing. At that time, one way or the other I'll give details. All I really want to say at this time it is a 100% NIB factory made with either 5 or 6 known. I apologize if I stole this thread, I just wanted to make sure my understanding of non cataloged was what you both kindly explained to me.
