The 22/45 Lite configuration pairs a ventilated, black anodized aluminum upper with a tensioned stainless steel barrel for reduced weight and consistent accuracy. The 4.40 inch barrel is threaded 1/2x28 and currently fitted with an aftermarket screw-on compensator, delivering a compensated setup right out of the box. A thread protector is included.
The Zytel/polymer 22/45 grip frame keeps the pistol light and steady, while the checkered wood/laminate grip panels with Ruger medallions provide a confident hold. Overall length is 8.50 inches, height is 5.50 inches, and weight is about 22.8 ounces.
This Mark III operates on a blowback action and incorporates key Mark III features: a left-side loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect. A left-side thumb safety and bolt stop are present. Capacity is 10+1 in .22 LR.
A factory Picatinny rail is installed for straightforward mounting on the receiver. The original factory sight set — a fiber-optic orange front and an adjustable rear with two green inserts — is included but currently removed.
This example is the black anodized Model 3903, made in the United States in 2014. It is a full-size Mark III 22/45 Lite with a threaded, tensioned stainless barrel inside the lightened aluminum upper, delivering a feature-rich .22 LR target pistol in a lightweight package.
