The book by R.L. Wilson is full of interesting details about Ruger and Ruger guns.

It tells about tests done on their investment cast bolts, comparing them to Mauser, Model 70 and 700 bolts, the Ruger investment cast lugs outlasting all of them. (p.105)

The Ruger Old Army got its design testing accomplished by loading the cylinders full of Bullseye...without failure. (p. 126)

The P85 was tested with military high-pressure M882 ammo while the bore was completely blocked with a steel rod. Some parts were ruined: (extractor...) but the barrel was undamaged. (p 207)

That's a few, there are more I'm quite sure but I don't recall specifics offhand nor do I care to look for them further. It's a book worth having if Ruger guns hold any appeal.



Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
