Ruger Mark IV Pellet Pistol

[askernie]

Hey Everybody!

Glad to have some time to visit so many of my old friends.

Question, does anybody know anything about the above pistol? I would not mind having a "ruger 4" style air pistol for some shooting in my back yard.

ANY information would be appreciated.

I have not seen that before. As a Ruger MkII owner I think the idea is cool, but that is a seriously wimpy velocity!

I own one of the original in CO2. Does about 475 FPS and is very accurate. They were actually quite good. Newer not so much.

I’ve got one of the new springers. It’s ok accurate at 15’, mine prefers crosman round nose pellets. I had to do a lot of work on the trigger to get it smooth.

What did it take to get the trigger to settle down? The trigger on mine is so stiff that I can’t tell a thing about accuracy because my sight picture gets ruined as I struggle to fire the doggone thing. I have decided to take it apart and see what the problem is. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Mine had a piece in it connected to the trigger assembly that I completely took out. It cause the trigger to hang up and be very very stiff and I have no idea what it was suppose to do. I also polished the areas where the trigger met the sear. It was much better and has gotten even better with usage. I’ll try and take a pic of that part tonight if I remember. The pistol functions fine and it didn’t affect the manual safety or the safety of the firearm. Of course, I’m not advocating taking parts off as YMMV.

Even that bit of info will help. Thank you, @headshot.
