Any one out there with a Follower Button for a Ruger Standard factory magazine you'd be willing to sell??? Or the name of a vendor who might sell them??? Thanks, Bob

Thanks! I'll give the II / III button a shot.

Lost the follower button in my Mark I mag while at the range. Can anyone tell me if a Follower Button from a Mark II / III will work in my Mark I??? Ruger doesn't show the Mark I button as being available and the Mark II / III buttons have a different shape. I checked eBay also but had no...

Here's a few close ups of the lettering. It looks pretty crisp to me. If it's been reblued, somebody did a heck of a job. Not sure why anyone would spend the $$$? It's not now, and never was, a high dollar pistol. Let me know what you think.......

Not a Ruger but looks like careless folks don't limit themselves to just one brand. Here's a First Generation Colt S.A.A. I found at a gun show this past weekend. Pretty sure it's going to reduce the value of what was about a $2,800 revolver...................unless it'll buff out.

I'll find out soon. I'm going to shoot it for the first time tomorrow and am expecting it to shoot high. I've already located the correct rear sight and have purchased it. So if/when I decide, I can return the gun to it's "natural state". However as stated, before I do that I want to see...

Thanks! That confirms my purchase of what I was told by a gun parts dealer in Indiana was the correct rear sight. I bought one and have it sitting in the box along with a pair of original Ruger grips I bought for it on eBay. Here's a picture of the gun with the aftermarket grips someone put...

You are correct Sir. My mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

Having recently acquired a 'new to me' Interarms / Hammerli Virginian, a S.A.A. pistol introduced in 1973, I tracked down an May, 1973 issue of American Rifleman which contained a review of that gun. When I received the copy I had purchased on eBay I found it also contained an announcement by...

Thanks for the info......................and for the effort!!! :D

Hoping to find a fixed rear sight for a Ruger Standard w/ 6" barrel. Original or reproduction is fine. Gun was built in 1981 with the A100 Frame. If you have one you're willing to part with please advise. Thanks! Bob N. St. George, UT

I found a set of original Ruger grips on line this morning that should work on the A-100 frame. $12.50 for the grips and $5 shipping. I like the custom grips better but want the originals "just to have them". Haven't shot it yet so I'll have to see if I can live with the rear sight. The...

Gunman, I did a quick check on the internet. Looks to me like the rear sight may have been for the Ruger Mark I Target model. Agree / Disagree??? bob

News to me on the rear sight! Thanks for the info!

I own a Ruger Mark III and yesterday added this Ruger Standard to my gun safe. Based on the S/N it was built in 1981. It has the 6" barrel. At some point in it's life someone switched out the grips and unfortunately, the original grips didn't come to me with the gun. I did get the original box...
