Ruger Mark I grip question

[awp101]

I've got a 1976 Mark I and I need a set of panels with a thumb rest (RH shooter). Will Mark II panels work if I can't find Mark I grips to fit the bill?

Thanks!

I'd have to double check my stuff,, but if your MKI has a frame marked "A-100" it should fit. Don't quote me yet, but I'll double check shortly.
And I'll check to see if I have a set of MKI thumbrest grips as well.

Ok, I was afraid to totally trust my faded memory.
But I was correct.
The 1976 version of a MKI, should have a A-100 grip frame. As such, yes, a set of MKII grips will fit. They will just have the cuts at the top on the inside. Not really visible.

And a set of the MKI thumbrest grips,, are harder to find,, but I do have a spare set. PM if you wish to discuss it.
