another thing... Ruger tried to say the rifle was not repairable, and offered another new one at cost. I don't know how that works, but 'cost' was only 40 bucks cheaper than I bought it new at the LGS.... When I told them to return my stuff, the tune changed. I was told that it was rugers company policy to not let any gun that was 'overpressured' back onto the streets. They then said a new one would be sent out if I signed a paper. After jumping thru the the hoops, a new one arrived on my doorstep.....
