Been thinking about a 22 pistol with a red dot for trapped pig dispatch duty

Went to LGS today and found a Ruger Mark III 22/45 with a threaded barrel. Used but not abused. $350. And they had CCI mini mags for $10/100 to boot so I picked up 500

Ordered a MaddMacs base and will mount a spare Burris Fastfire

I even figured out how to disassemble and reassemble the thing

All on a whim starting at 5p.
