Yeah, Jon, I agree that many Rugers still require some finishing when they are "new." I certainly don't mind doing a little DIY on them, but they are not "fine" guns, by even my lowish standards. Merely excellent using guns.

Guess I just don't like to see negatives on investment cast guns because people less sophisticated than this crowd tend to then equate "cast" with "cast iron" and shy away from an excellent manufacturing practice. I'm touchy about it, like many Ruger nuts.
