“HALO” Charging Ring for Ruger® Mark IV™ & Mark III™ | Silver | Faster, One-Finger Charging | SKU: TK24N0164SLV1 | UPC: 769498483794
Make racking your Ruger® rimfire effortless, consistent, and glove-friendly. The “HALO” Charging Ring for Ruger Mark IV & Mark III pistols adds a large, ergonomic loop to your bolt so you can charge, clear, and lock back the action with one finger—even in cold weather or under match pressure. Its low-profile, open-loop design gives you a secure purchase from either side while keeping weight to a minimum and maintaining a clean, factory-plus look. Finished in silver to complement stainless and two-tone builds, the HALO is the must-have upgrade for target shooters, steel-challenge competitors, small-game hunters, and new shooters alike.
Why Choose the HALO Charging Ring
One-Finger Operation: Oversized loop delivers fast, positive leverage for charging and clearing—no pinching the tiny factory ears.
Ambidextrous Control: Symmetrical ring design works left- or right-handed, from any position, with or without gloves.
Confidence Under Stress: Bigger grasping surface = fewer fumbles, faster follow-ups, and smoother manipulations during timed strings.
Silver Finish, Clean Lines: Adds function and a custom look that complements stainless barrels/receivers or two-tone builds.
Rimfire-Friendly Ergonomics: Perfect for new shooters and anyone with reduced hand strength; minimizes slips when actions get fouled.
Competition & Field Ready: Durable construction stands up to high round counts, carbon, and solvent exposure.

Hunting & Plinking: Easy bolt control when clearing a chamber or checking the bore in the field.
Training & New Shooters: Simplifies the manual of arms so students can focus on sight picture and trigger.
Installation (Quick Guide)
Unload & Verify Clear. Remove magazine and visually/physically check the chamber.
Remove Bolt. Field-strip per Ruger’s manual (Mark IV tool-less takedown; Mark III per manual).
Attach HALO. Position the ring over the bolt’s rear “ears” and secure per included instructions (use thread locker if recommended).
Reassemble & Function-Check. Ensure smooth charging and that the bolt locks open on an empty magazine.
Range Verify. Run a few magazines to confirm consistent operation.
Pro tip: Add a reliable recoil/trigger reset routine to your dry-fire so the new motion becomes automatic under match pressure.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe After Use: Remove carbon and fouling with a soft cloth; avoid harsh abrasives.
Thread Check: Inspect hardware for tightness after first range trip; re-torque if needed.
Run Dry or Lightly Oiled: Keep the ring and bolt free of excess lube to reduce fouling buildup.
