It's the short, thin barrel Standard model.
* Note: I Had a brand-new IV over a year ago, and it went maybe 1,000 rds. before seeing a single stovepipe or such. About as reliable as my imported AKs. Sold the first Ruger only to have some of the cash to buy another Sig P225 ('87).
After leaving the gun shop today with this brand-new, >>identical<< Mark IV Standard (thin, short barrel) and new ammo, I put just a little Breakfree CLP all around the bolt; about five- ten drops.
100 rds. of the lowest cost Winchester had just a single jam.
100 rds. of CCI Minimag had two stovepipes. Figured that brand-new CCI would be perfect...
Maybe it will get to 99.9 or 100% perfect function in a while, like my previous new Mark IV Standard? No biggie, it's just for the range.
