Guess how many rounds the Ruger MK-II has through it?

[rat31465]

Nearly everyone has owned or at least shot one of these Ruger MK-II .22 LR Pistols. This one belonged to my Father and was a Fathers day present to him back in the late 1980's from me and my Mother.
How many rounds do you think it has had shot through it to the nearest Thousand?
After I have 10 guesses I will anounce who was closest...And yes we did keep track.

[Robb Jensen]

10K rounds?

I have 26K rounds through my Ruger 22/45 (MkII).

Thats Guess #1But I am afraid your a little off....With your guess that is!
When I gave the Pistol to Dad I also gave him 10,000 rounds of Winchester Super-X Solids. We went through his Birthday Ammo in a little over 3-months.

Next Guess?

[Heavy Metal]

250,000

[rat31465]

250,000

No...you win the Dog Food, Not the Buick...!

[Ttwwaack]

69,354.5

[rat31465]

69,354.5

Guess #3 is the closest yet...but like horse shoes and had grenades you get No Cigar!

I have an old Mk 1 that was made in the 60s. At one point, we were putting a full 550 round value pack through it every trip to the range.

Go knows how many 10s of thousands of rounds that thing saw.

Thats exactly how it was with this pistol...Dad lived in the Boonies but everytime I would visit I would take a couple bricks along just to shoot.
No matter what else we happened to be shooting or testing the Ruger still got warmed up from extensive shooting.

We kept track of the round count by saving the empty .22 ammo boxes.

I am guessing around 85000 rounds?


Whatever the amount of rounds through that gun it still looks good.
