Ok.
I admit, I'm a Stainless M77 junkie.
From that 1st skeleton stock 3006 I bought the same year my daughter was born.
They had just hit the market, and I HAD to have one.
It's put at least 1 good buck on the ground every year but 1,for the last 31 years.
Next came the all weather 22lr, 223,
7.62x39, 308, and they just continue to follow me home, to the point I'd really have to sit down and think about how many stainless Hawkeyes, mk2s, heavy targets, guide guns,compacts,etc that I have.
Well, my second mk2 of this week followed me here today,from a local GS.
It's a threaded and capped muzzle,260 skeleton, numbered 788-007xx, from 2000 according to the Ruger website..
My question is, did the factory thread any barrels in that time frame?
This looks too professional to be an aftermarket job to me. As it has retained the muzzle crown when the thread protector is installed.
I've seen a handful of stainless skeletons,thru the years, that have had an adjustable compensator. Similar to the BOSS system , and just assumed it was done after it left the factory.
Therefore, I did not give it much more thought. Since I was generally financially embarrassed when those guns became available
So I decided to bring the question to the experts in the detail of all things Ruger.
I've not been on board here long.
But the knowledge I've absorbed in that short period of time is amazing. And thanks in advance to all who shares the knowledge.
