      I found a us model 1917 rifle on GunBroker for a decent price but the rifle has a brass pin going through the action and the stock that the seller claims was added by an armorer.

      Ruger Mark IV 22/45 grip vs standard grip

      All, I'm just curious as to people's thoughts on these 2 designs. I don't yet own a Ruger Mark IV, but will likely get one in the future. While I like the look of the grip of the standard Mark IV, I held them both a while back (likely a Mark 3 though) and I felt the 22/45 grip shape fit my...
