Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite IV Upper for Ruger Mark IV, 4.5-Inch, OD Green

The Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite IV (brand part number PLIV45TEMODNF) is a lightweight aluminum upper built to replace the factory upper on a Ruger Mark IV or Mark IV 22/45 pistol, cutting weight and improving both accuracy and reliability over the stock unit. This 4.5-inch-barrel version installs directly onto an existing Mark IV frame without needing a gunsmith, and it’s finished in a matte olive drab color for shooters who want a different look than the factory finish. Inside, a stainless steel breech face and receiver hold up to repeated cycling, and the barrel is drilled and tapped for Tactical Solutions’ own Pac-Lite scope bases, with a thread protector end cap included over the 1/2×28-threaded muzzle. This is a top-end upper replacement, not a complete firearm — it installs on an existing Ruger Mark IV frame rather than shipping as its own standalone pistol.
