Ruger mk3 target interchange with 22/45?

[richyojimbo]

Hello

Can you interchange Barrel and receivers of ruger 22 pistols?
Between 22/45 and tradition ruger Luger style receivers?

Thanks

Yes I think you can but do not hold me to it. (as I don't have both to test it with)

If you own both then why not try it?

If you don't own both and are thinking of trying to just buy the receiver portion take note that the barrel / receiver of ruger MKs & 22/45s are the serialized part.

According to a quick Google search, apparently yes, but modifications are involved:
