I’ve not had a later model Ruger apart in a while. They certainly are relying on mildly finished castings. I’m taken aback some, compared to what I’ve done in the past. Slicking it up will be a very easy and visual chore. I’m leaving the factory springs alone. I prefer reliability over the most light action. The polishing of surfaces will mostly accomplish what I desire.

My Pietta .45 Colt was finished inside a lot nicer. (nm)
