I understand, but you seem to be omitting parts of the story as to what actually went down. Ruger puts something in print and you say they never said they'd do that, yet they also state that someone on your end declined the offer. Lots of loose ends dangling.
"......Rugers were not manufactured to be taken apart.........."
That is an interesting statement in that I, and I'm sure many others, have had numerous Rugers re-barreled, both blued and stainless models, and most gunsmiths state that they will re-barrel them.
If they were made to not be re-barreled I doubt that any smith worth his salts would touch them and they would tell you so. In addition, it would be common knowledge in this age of mass media and instant information distribution.
Still more twists and turns in this soap opera saga.
