Removed by OP for lack of interest.

Recently I have been looking for a red dot reflex sight to mount on my Ruger SR45. I have a HOLOSUN HS510C on my Mini 30 and my Beretta 1310 Tac and I am well satisfied with them. After a lot of research I decided on the HOLOSUN HS507C X2 for the SR45. That is pretty much cut and dried. The...

NH Rugerman> Call Ruger Customer Service…. Good luck I did. They sent me a brand new ten round mag. Which is great. Now I have a mag body and a bottom plate just laying around. If I can find a spring I can put it back in service. No big deal. Just something I wanted to try/do. Thanks for your...

Anyone know where I might find a ten round mag spring for a 582 series Mini-30 or something compatible. I have searched the net and can only find springs for the Mini-14. One site listed a five round mag spring that fit both the Mini-14 and Mini-30. I am a little suspicious of that. I was...

I use a 180 LWFNGC over a close to max load of 2400 in my GP100 for hunting deer. I also carry the same anytime I am in the woods around here. When I was working up this load I put one through five big city phone books, three one gallon water jugs and into the berm at the back of my shooting...

Can't go wrong with a GP100. I paid around $500.00 for mine new about seven years ago. Right now the prices are definitely high. Just don't know if they will ever go down or just keep going up. If I wanted it bad enough and had the cash I would pay the price. The GP 100 is a work horse and a...

I am right partial to my SR45. I had a few issues with it when it was brand new but Ruger did a good job of ironing them out. I have put a few thousand rounds of reloads through it since then without issue. It fits my hand perfectly, is very dependable and if I do my part it is a very accurate...

Ruger Redhawk 44 mag model #5004. It is a pre sleeve and shroud model with a 5.5 inch barrel. Message me if available.

I recently ordered a Redhawk 5004. I noticed the 5043. It looked like the 5004 but cost around fifty dollars more. I sent an email to Ruger to find out what the difference was between the two. That is when I found out about the sleeve and shroud barrel on the model 5043. I am glad I chose the...

Those Square Butt Genuine Rosewood Classic Grips look nice.

I am pretty much going by images. I did not have the luxury of handling the firearm before the purchase. I live to far out in the sticks. The stock wood grips look small on the Redhawk in images. They may turn out to work perfect. I am just checking out options. Helps pass the time waiting for...

Looks like most of the aftermarket grips do not cover the backstrap. If available I would want a grip that covers it. Hard to tell from images.

I am in the same situation as the OP. I have a new Redhawk model 5004 (44 mag) on the way. Those small wood factory grips look like they would be hard to handle. Do you guys who mentioned the Uncle Mike grips have a model number for them? I have read quite a few good things about those but most...

That is one of those" to each his own" questions that pops up. I clean mine and have always done so.

Your welcome. It may look silly to some but it has saved my chrono more than once. Pretty....:shock:
