The Mark III Target variant pairs a 5.5-inch bull barrel with a stainless steel frame and receiver, both finished in satin stainless. The heavy-profile barrel uses a 1:16 right-hand twist and six-groove rifling. This configuration is a proven .22 LR setup known for stability and consistency on target.
Factory sights include a black front blade and a fully adjustable black square-notch rear. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this pistol has a Weaver/Picatinny scope base installed with three screws, giving it a ready platform for mounting a rail-compatible optic if desired.
Controls and features are true to the Mark III series: simple blowback operation with a single-action trigger, a push-button magazine release, a manual thumb safety, and a loaded-chamber indicator bar on the left side of the receiver. It uses a cylindrical bolt with rear grasping ears and a right-side ejection port. Capacity is 10+1 rounds.
This example aligns with Ruger catalog/model KMKIII512 (MFG Part No. 10103) and was manufactured in 2014 during the Mark III production run (2004–2016). It measures approximately 9.75 inches overall and weighs about 42 ounces. Grips are checkered black synthetic panels with red Ruger medallions.
