Scope rings?

[collectormzornes]

Does anyone know if Ruger shipped stainless rifles with stainless scope rings but blued hardware such as the clamp bolt and scope cap screws. I have a few rifles that are that way and I can’t imagine someone changing all of them out but anything is possible I guess. Thanks for the help

I've never seen them that way... I have blued and ss both.

The early stainless guns had the ss rings with the blued hardware. I only remember seeing the blued with slotted screws and when stainless hardware appeared they had T10 torx head screws in them. I imagine the blued rifles had the hardware change at the same time. I swapped out a pile of blued hardware when the stainless became available. I don’t recall dates very well but it seems like the move from boatpaddle to the convention synthetic stock was around the same time.

Well after looking around on Gunbroker I ran across a NOS 7.62x39 boat paddle listing that had everything with it and it did have stainless rings with blued hardware.
