Ruger Mark II for Dad Part 2

Part 2

see Part 1 here


The parts came out OK, I wish I would have gone through the extra trouble of polishing the receiver, some of the rough parts show up, oh well I can always reblue it another time
 

Time to reassemble the gun and get some pictures

I gave the hammer face and sear engagement surface a good polishing before reassembly


Finished! We installed a new set of 50th Anniversary grips and new grip screws












Before and after photos, it may be hard to tell if anything changed, the gun was in pretty good shape when we started






The plum color is gone, that is not to say that the bolt will not turn plum with age, but for now it is deep black
 



On to the next project!
