Jim,
When it comes to pistols, something need to be kept in mind:
- I assume that Mark's FFL is in NH. For those of us living in other states, there will be some hassle and cost associated with bringing it to other state and transferring it via local FFL.
- For those of us living in MA, there is additional requirement (of course) that the pistol has to be on the Approved Roster. Currently the only MK4 Target on the roster is "Mark IV Target (Model # 40159)". Ruger is known to assign unique model numbers for minor modifications. Need to verify that the raffle pistol is indeed Model #40159. Since the Mark IV pistol is relatively new on the market, it is possible that more models will be on the roster by next December, but I would not rely on it.
