Re: 1950 RST-4 (1st collectable?)

Thanks Steve & WT!

I'm checking with Dennis W. ( SGW ) to see if his 2-piece bolt service can be applied to all 3 of mine (1-Blued Std, 1 Blued MkI, 1-SS MkII KMK6)! :idea:

Re: 1950 RST-4 (1st collectable?)

Is it possible to have a tapered bolt that is only one piece. The dead giveaway for a two piece bolt is the "D" shaped imprint on the back of the bolt. A picture of that with the right light angle would verify it is a two piece to me. Steve Vaughn Steve, I'm not sure if "1-piece tape...

Re: MKIV Hammer

Looking at a Volquartsen MKIII target hammer: can this be used in a MKIV if the hammer strut is substituted or are there other differences I can't see in a picture?

Re: 1950 RST-4 (1st collectable?)

Theo does the T514 have a 2 piece bolt? I had a couple of 1953 vintage Ruger .22 pistols promised to me by a family friend upon his passing. Did not get either of them but still remember those pistols like it was yesterday. You have a great pistol there with that in your collection. Thanks for show...

1953 MkI T514 (2nd collectable?)

Thanks Steve, Bill & WT! The 76' and 53' shoot great. I'm fully confident the 50' would also, but again, that is my 1st Ruger Pistol "collectable" and My Safe Queen! ;) Believe I now have a "2nd collectable". For too long, I've tried (through several unsuccessful on-line bids...
