While I've seen earlier Ruger DAs that have turned plum color to varying degrees, it strikes me that I've never seen a blue GP that is "ripening up."
Anybody got one? Or are they just too new to show this, or has Ruger changed steels for the GP series? I think it would be sad to lose this "variation," but others may not agree.
I have a Finnish Valmet 12 guage O/U shotgun with an entirely plum frame. This gun was made in the early 1960s and I use it for rainy day hunting and situations where I worry about falling down and damaging my Rugers. (I call her "Prunella.). A very solid and reliable (and attractive, if you like prune whip) shotgun.
