I purchased this gun several months ago and I have always wanted a two tone Ruger so I thought this would be the perfect gun for the project as it was drilled and tapped. I plugged the holes with some screws and cut them off and stoned it and slapped on some cold blue. Didn't turn out quite as well as I would have liked but good enough for this old shooter.
Then I used Hondo's tip and used oven cleaner to strip the grip frame and cleaned and polished it. Slapped on some grips I picked up from another forum member and this is what I ended up with. Decided to leave the ejector rod housing blue for now. The gun had been converted and would only fire about half of the time. I installed original parts and gun functions fine now.
