Ruger MK I

My father recently purchased a ruger mark I 22. We where wondering what the difference is in the clips between the mark ones and the mark II's?

I don't really know with any authority, but I can hazard a guess. I believe the magazines are actually interchangeable. The MkII has a bolt hold-open on the last shot, but that's probably a modification to the bolt to catch the follower, not the other way around. I have a MkI and I love it. It was my first handgun and once I figured out how to use the safety to hold the slide open when I wanted to, I didn't feel handicapped at all.

Actually I own both the mk1 and mk11 and the mags are not interchangeable. The mk1's won't fit the mk11's & vice versa. On a sidenote the mk1's are only 9 round. Both mags can be found @ www.cdnninvestments.com.

I have heard that you can interchange mags if you take the little nub on the side that pulls the follower down and move it to the other side of the magazine. That's just hearsay though.

It is true. Not particularly hard to swap the button from one side to the other, either. More annoying than anything (I have a MK1 and a MKII, both blue/bull barrels, and hate grabbing the "wrong" mags).
