I'll do an RENE article on Ruger Corp. tools again sometime.
I'm kind of in the process of doing a rarity listing, over a year period or so, to see how the numbers turn out for models/variations seen.

Suggest everybody start looking at this distributor's Ruger products! They are not a good advertiser, so a lot of these things will be super rare I.M.O.

That's a good looking Super! It looks like it might be a dull polish to me, just with a nice coat of fresh oil.
