Ruger Mark IV Hunter Blued Update and Upgrades

[@ericwheat9540]

I just bought one of these. I should pick it up next week. I like how you did the white lettering. I’d like how

[@chrisrogers5614]

Recieved my plate from lobos today.its an absolutely awsome fit .thanks for the info on the mount.they do small runs and run out quickly. Those interested should act.thanks for the video 👍

[@Cooldibs]

Glad you like it! Their quality is amazing

[@tonito_el_tigre]

Do you know how often these runs are released? I’ve put my email in to be notified but still check daily

[@bjjbrawler1]

@@tonito_el_tigreHe just emailed me yesterday and they have some in. Only options is for a Burris or Venom red dot. Snag one while u can!

[@Deerhunter2770]

@@tonito_el_tigrekeep checking the Lobos website. They pop up often and sell out fast. Like others have stated, the mounts fit perfect.

[@brenteynon5243]

I'm also casting a vote to see the with lettering process video!

[@federico02072]

I just picked up the optic mount as I have the same firearm with the Venom Optic OMG thank you for finding this company it's fantastic. It makes the gun look way better.

[@Cooldibs]

Glad you like it! And yea I was super happy with how it looks and it’s very precise quality. Also never hurts to support small business owners👍

[@federico02072]

@Texan EDC Cave absolutely agree. I picked up the new pistol last week the was in bed looking through KZbin cam across your video. Now I'm going to attempt the white lettering. I'm super happy when I see people here giving ideas about what to buy and a review. You saved me a ton of homework lol

[@Cooldibs]

@@federico02072 heck yea man. I’m wanting to do a video on the white lettering, but I haven’t gotten a new gun to do it to!

[@terrycostakis6284]

Nice upgrades. I’d like to see a video on how you white the lettering. A lot of the ones I’ve seen people do turn out shoddy looking but yours is excellent. Also, Ruger says that their Mark series pistols can be dry fired without worry. There is a cross pin in the bolt that prevents the firing pin from traveling fully forward. I wouldn’t sit down and dry fire hundreds of times every few days but normal dry firing is perfectly acceptable.

[@hike2024]

Beautiful gun. I have the Hunter, and would love to do this. The blueing is awesome.

[@michaeloconnor3888]

Just bought a 22/45 and haven’t fired it yet. The white lettering is an amazing look! Please put out a vid on the process.

[@blackie1of4]

That's one beautiful firearm ❤️ Great job with the upgrades and fantastic review! Thanks for sharing this brother

[@pegleg1az]

I have the Lobo mount and the same red dot. Sweeeet I also added a Halo slide pull. Lov it.

[@SavageVoyageur]

As long as you white labeled the sides, you should also paint the Ruger label on the take down button.

[@federico02072]

Ok, update: I took white nail polish and whitened the letters. omg it came out perfect it looks awesome. Although my wife thinks I'm crazy but man your video gave great upgrade ideas

[@86steventura]

That Lobos optics mount is what I’ve been looking for, but it’s sold out…I’ll have to wait it out. Thanks for the info

[@jmatz66]

Great looking gun! I totally love that custom Pic rail. I also love the look of the white lettering. I'm very interested in doing that to mine. Please make vid showing how you did that.

[@Cooldibs]

I definitely will! I’m taking college summer classes right now, and it doesn’t leave me with a whole lot of time. But they’ll be over soon so I’ll make one after!👍 thanks for watching!

[@kellywalton4195]

Love what you have done to it. How do you do the white lettering and do you have a link for the new trigger?

[@jameswest5798]

Can you make a video on how to color fill the markIV

[@Cooldibs]

Of course!

[@angels3926]

how did you installed holosun optics?

[@mr.rogers5586]

love it ! I have a mark 2 government target model in stainless with a 6 7/8"barrel someone had done a 1.lb trigger job on it before i got it. This thing is the most accurate firearm that I have shot.

[@Prepare2Survive]

If I can't co-witness with the iron sights I want a quick detach feature to remove the optic in case that's needed. That means I would probably just use a picatinny rail with a holosun QD picatinny mount.

[@johnson4523]

I have the same model. Havent been crazy on the sights honestly. Definitely going to throw a red dot on it, will be my first too

[@stephenjackson7106]

Hi, like so many others, I would like to whiten the engraving on my few current pieces. Please include me in that process, after you ace your exams. I very much wanted a Mark IV, but living in Ca, we are almost to the point of being able to buy only muskets or spears. Stephen

[@Cooldibs]

I got a new leatherman and will be making a video tomorrow! Thanks!

[@prodigy6000]

Excellent job finding that mount and it is an excellent design, if I were engineering one that's how I would design it...and I will out of stainless.

[@SavageVoyageur]

Please tell me the exact model of that red dot. Thanks

[@aloyalblue1]

That mount is slick!

[@Ken-br3vl]

You can dry-fire all Ruger Mk series pistols without concern of doing harm. Ruger even states this in the manual.

[@Cooldibs]

Yes, I just don’t like making it a habit because I own other 22s

[@MacD2029]

Did you put a different screw in the front (the one thats not being used by your new reddot mount)?

[@Cooldibs]

@@MacD2029 no sir. The pistol comes with set screws on the holes. You need to take them out to use them. In this case, I left the front one on the gun since this mount does not use it

[@christoFlair777]

The holosun mou😢is awesome 😎!!!

[@christoFlair777]

Mount

[@BluedMarble]

Whoa how did you color the letters on the metal?

[@paulmanhart4481]

Nice touch with the labels. Did you use a laser? I have a Mark IV Target with picatinny rails. I want to put on a Holosun green dot but not sure what mount to get. What did you use? Thanks, Paul

[@Cooldibs]

I actually have a video showing how I did the labeling. The mount is a lobos industries mount. Easily the nicest mounts for a ruger 22 pistol. They offer them in all the different mounts available.

[@FirearmOutfitters]

Nice set up!!

[@federico02072]

Great video I would love to know how you did the white letters

[@mcb2757]

These are great guns. I have the Mark IV Target model bone stock. Probably the most deadly handgun I have.

[@craigbashaw7706]

Hi Texan, Nice video. I recently purchased a mk4 blue Hunter. I ordered a holosun HS507c x2 from Midway and the 507k Mount from Lobos. The holes don’t line up. Which mount did you use? Thanks. Craig ..

[@Cooldibs]

Hmm that’s odd, did you maybe get sent the wrong mount on accident? I think it should say on the mount what it’s actually for rather than the packaging

[@Cannontime]

Did you every do the video on the white lettering? Looks great!

[@Cannontime]

Never mind I found it.

[@Cooldibs]

@@Cannontime haha glad you found it👍

[@stirfry741]

Does this cause failures? I want to run this mount but it feels like they mount it in a bad spot?

[@Cooldibs]

Not sure what you mean by a bad spot. Are you worried about the case hitting the mount during cycling? If so, it’s not an issue. The casings have never hit the mount on mine.

[@stirfry741]

@@Cooldibs yeah that’s what I was wondering not that reliability is even a concern in these guns I’m just running a suppressor and it’s gets finicky after 500 rounds don’t wanna clear a jam every 3 rounds cause of the red dot lol

[@Cooldibs]

@@stirfry741I getcha! I have not had a single round come close to hitting that.

[@christoFlair777]

Looks awesome!! I’m picking up my mark4 hunter this Friday.. how do like the red dot?? Holosun??

[@Cooldibs]

Really like it! Haven’t had to change the battery yet either. It’s the 407c X2

[@Robbinblox]

Yes meke a video oh how you do all the letters 👌🏻

[@tylertapp131]

Good stuff. What mount did you get for this for the holoson dot?

[@jonathanl2748]

Is this Ruger model worth it to pay more for than the less expensive 22/45 Lite series? Much more accurate? Thanks!

[@Cooldibs]

I honestly can’t say if it’s more accurate then the lite series because I’ve never shot one. It’s honestly a personal opinion thing. This version to me shows more character and I can appreciate the machining that went into it. It’s almost like comparing a 1911 to a Glock. Both are great but the glocks are kinda boring to look at👍 if you plan on taking it backpacking or carrying it on you for a while if definitely save the weight and go for the lite series!

[@jonathanl2748]

@@Cooldibs Yes, I love the all stainless steel aspect compared to aluminum/polymer. I’m just not too sure about the Luger type grip. The Lite series have the 1911 grip, which I know I like. Thanks!

[@ironmonkey1512]

Not crazy about the lite series, the rails are kind of useless because your red dot will be higher than if you just put on an adapter plate. I'm setting mine up for steel challenge I just got the base model. I would of paid more for a 22/45 with alloy lower but there is no such thing.

[@jonathanl2748]

@@ironmonkey1512 I ended up buying the all metal Tactical Mark IV. The grip does not bother me after all. I do like the added heft of the all metal frame. Thanks!

[@kingkong2598]

Can i ask how much you paid for it?

[@morriszachrisson8359]

Does the blued version of this gun cost more than the stainless one?

[@Guitfiddle211]

Reverse that. The SS version is around $800, blued is around $600.

[@djbuzz9998]

whats the small mont for the rmr

[@Cooldibs]

It’s mentioned in the video. Can’t remember the name.

[@butchneville5768]

There is absolutely no reason to not dry fire a mkiv pistol.

You’re right, I just choose to not make a habit out of it👍
