I couldn't find a used one so had to pay new price for this one. Last Edited By: Cisco 12/02/08 12:20 AM. Edited 1 times.

Please let us know how it shoots once you have a chance to take it out. That stock looks like the Circassian that Ruger puts on the Express rifles rather than the American walnut typically seen on the M77 Mk II. Did you pay a "custom shop" price for this one? Just beautiful.....

I thought the same thing when I took it out of the box it looked like the wood they put on their express rifles. Well maybe not quite that good but close to it. I was reluctant to buy a Ruger sight unseen because of the bland so so wood they sometimes put on their rifles. I e-mailed the guy I bought it from before using the buy it now feature on gunbroker and asked how many he had. He had six and I said if you would be willing to go through them and pick out the one with the nicest stock I'll buy one. He said OK so I did, I was not disappointed. I've shot it but just off hand at some rocks across a canyon. It may be until Christmas before I can get out to the range and put it on paper. I don't expect great things with just iron sights but I don't want a scope on this one.

Here is a K-22 Combat Masterpiece made in 1953 the year I was born. Next up is a 2 1/2" .38 Diamondback and a .38 Ruger Service Six. That about uses up my money.

Thanks for the close up of the sight. That is one cool Diamondback. I've always liked the look of the 2 1/2" guns. Last Edited By: Bryan 45 12/18/08 07:12 AM. Edited 1 times.

I'll try reposting them in a different way and see how that works. Now they are back, not sure what's going on. Last Edited By: Cisco 12/18/08 11:12 PM. Edited 1 times.

It's a neat semi-auto that appears to have borrowed technology from both the east and west as well as a few Czech ideas thrown in for good measure. The gas system is weird compared to other semi-autos and is a bear to get thoroughly cleaned after shooting. I'm going to have to pull out my original G&A magazines from the late 80's to get the disassembly instructions for the gas system. The trigger assembly is removed much like a Garand, pull the back of the trigger guard out, then slide the assembly forward while tilting it up, then out of the rails it sits in. It has a buttstock cleaning kit & oiler hole under the outer plate. Some have inner plates, others don't. The inner plates are just metal pieces with the accessory holes cut out to fit the stock. The bayonet assembly is unique to the rifle. Lots of these have a bad wobble when open or closed, the one above has a little play, but not too bad. It also looks like someone tried to put an edge on the blade.

Will be between .375 & .58 cal when finished! Boooooom!!!
