The 5.50-inch alloy steel bull barrel with 1:16 RH twist and six grooves provides consistent .22 LR accuracy in a robust, fixed-barrel configuration. Ruger’s internal cylindrical bolt and grasping ears deliver positive charging and a familiar Mark-series manual of arms.
Target-focused iron sights include a fixed square-post front and a fully adjustable rear target sight. Controls are modernized for the series with a push-button, left-side magazine release.
Safety features include a manual thumb safety, loaded chamber indicator, magazine disconnect, and an internal lock. The receiver is factory drilled and tapped for a scope base, with filler screws installed from the factory.
Construction is all-steel where it matters: a steel frame with blued finish, alloy steel receiver and barrel, and black checkered synthetic grips with Ruger medallions. Capacity is 10+1, with overall length approximately 9.75 inches, height about 5.50 inches, and weight around 42 ounces for a steady sight picture.
This example aligns with Ruger catalog MKIII512 (model number 10101), bears the Southport, Connecticut roll mark, and was produced in 2007 in the United States.
