Question for the Ruger Mark I Bull Barrel owners

Ole Joe Clark · #1 06-12-2019, 06:32 PM

I am trying to determine if my new/old Ruger Mark I has the original front sight on the 5.5" long bull barrel. As best as I can measure the front sight and barrel it measures 1.287", with a barrel diameter of .870", and a front sight height of .408".

If some of you guys would measure yours and tell me your readings I might do a buck dance at your next wedding. :-)

Thanks in advance and have a blessed day,

Leon

Hi Leon,

Sorry about the slow response but I spent this week in Canada eh! I measured my Mark 1 that I purchased new back in 73 or 74. My barrel measures out at 0.865 and the front sight installed measures at 1.280 to the rear edge as the blade is at an angle. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks Bob, just what I needed. Your measurements are basically the same as mine, with just a few thousands difference.

Thanks so much.

Have a blessed day,
