This is in case some of you have not seen this in 
one of the magazines. There is a potential problem 
with certain Ruger Mark II .22 pistols.
The specific models are:

	Ruger Mark II Standard, automatic pistol
	(4 3/4 barrel, blued only), SN from
	210-92816 to 210-94772.

	All Ruger Mark II pistols, standard, target
	and bull barrel models, (blued only), SN
	from 211-28500 to 211-40000.

It seems there is a possibility that pistols in these groups may
fire if the trigger is pulled when the safety is on "S" and then
the safety is moved to "F".

If you have a Ruger in these groups, please find a copy of the
notice (I saw it in The American Rifleman, August issue, page 2).
It describes a safe procedure to use to determine if your weapon
will act in this manner, and where to send it for free repairs.

They say ship it UPS. I wonder if UPS will accept firearms from
private citizens? Anybody have any experience?
