another nice job, Case.
ReplyDeleteI bought the bull barrel version of that gun in the early nineties only to have it stolen from my truck, (I kept it under the seat) when I lived in Florida. I cant remember the model #. I bought a Government Target Model to replace it. Those Rugers are very durable guns and my new Government Target Model is a tack driver!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have some great skills by the way that you re-built that old girl. Great work on bringing her back!
I did a full restoration of 2 Ruger Standards (some people call them Mark I) and I kept one for my personal collection and have the other for sale in my gunsmithing shop in Bristol, TN. Great plinking and target pistols.
ReplyDeleteI feel strangely aroused.
