Has anyone heard from Ruger when the quality control issue of rust was corrected, or if there is a serial number cutoff.
SR 1911 rust production dates?

I don't think Ruger has ever publicly acknowledged that this was known or chronic issue, let alone leak out any cut-off date to the buying market.

I think this is one time when asking the intergoogle will not give you an answer.
One of my associates voiced a question: "I wonder if the Prescott Ruger site roof collapse due to water(rain), had anything to do with the possible contamination of those SR1911 guns you have been hearing about?" Anybody know any thing here?

Mine is affected and it was manufactured quite a bit before the roof collapse. So I doubt it has anything to do with it.HAWKEYE#28 said:

Is anyone seeing rust on guns produced in the last few months? Latest serial numbers on the new guns I've looked at at the gun shows have been as high as 91XXX.
I just picked up a 91xxx series serial number 2 weeks. Spent brass was dated 8/23/13. Had them take off the grips before I purchased. No rust or anything... Shoots like a dream..... I will keep an eye it for anyway just to make sure nothing appears...

Took mine to range after many months. Ammo is just now showing up on some shelves in Florida. When cleaning it today I noticed a discoloration on the very back of the trigger. Could be rust, don't know, but it wiped off with some solvent. My son, a former stainless steel welder, says that stainless does not mean rust-less.
