I'm going through my Ruger collection and clearing some items out. I purchased this 44 carbine years ago and just put it in the display case. I took it out to sell, noticed the stock had been cracked and repaired. I was going to replace it with another stock I had and found these modifications to the rifle and stock. 1. No hole/access for recoil block bolt, recoil block is anchored with wood screw, additional dovetail with threaded block that the forward rifle sling screw attaches to on the underneath part of barrel, which is located past the end of a traditional stock. Model 102 series. Looks like the rifle has been refinished to a satin type finish. LOL. What is it?
