Ruger MK IV Hunter

The Ruger Mark IV Hunter is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22LR. It features a 6.9″ barrel and a stainless frame with a satin finish. The pistol has a classic look similar to the Mark III model.One notable feature of the Mark IV series is the one-button takedown mechanism, which allows for quick and easy field stripping without the need for tools. By pressing a recessed button at the back of the frame, the upper receiver can be tilted up and removed from the grip frame. The bolt can then be slid out and the barrel can be cleaned from chamber to muzzle.The Mark IV also includes other improvements compared to its predecessor. It features a one-piece grip frame that is CNC-machined from a solid piece of aluminum alloy, providing improved durability and precision. The pistol has an ambidextrous manual safety and a redesigned bolt stop for more ergonomic operation.In terms of magazine handling, the Mark IV has a magazine that drops free on release, allowing for faster reloads. Additionally, it has a redesigned magazine disconnect safety that prevents discharge when the magazine has been removed.Internally, the Mark IV has undergone improvements to the hammer, sear, bolt, and firing pin. These changes result in smoother and more reliable feeding.The specific features of the Mark IV can vary depending on the model, but the one-piece barreled receiver and internal cylindrical bolt construction remain consistent across the series. This robust design ensures permanent sight-to-barrel alignment and higher accuracy potential compared to designs with moving slides.The Ruger Mark IV Hunter comes with two 10-round magazines and features laminate finger groove grips. It has an adjustable rear sight and a fluted bull barrel.
