Ruger Standard

Picked up this 1973 standard from the used gun rack at Green Top. Some rust, lots of wear on the finish and the receiver grip frame was very loose. A bit of time with oil and 4-0 steel wool took care of the rust. A couple pieces of shim made from a beer can took care of the loose fit. The magazine needed work. It was replaced with two MKII mags. MKII and MKIII mags will fit and work in the pistol.

Shoots reasonably well. I need to get accustomed to the pistol. Next mods will be to replace the trigger and sear with a MKII VQ trigger and sear. Just love these old Rugers.
