What would you do?

I picked up this MKII in trade earlier this year. Life is slowing down a bit and can give it the attention I had been planning on. I am going to send it to Ruger for a service check and reblue. I have been in contact with AllenM and he can do one of two things for me first. Somewhere along it's life someone modified the frame above the safety. Allen can either fill in where the metal had been removed and make it back as it were from the factory, or he can clean up what has been done so that it looks like it came from the factory that way. I currently leaning towards the latter option. What do you all think?

send it to Ruger or you may end the lifetime warranty which would suck. They do a great job, at least so far for me, and my firearms have been returned to me in less than a week. I had a slide reblued on my LC9 as it was all scratched up sine it was the show gun. They made it look new for ZERO money and picked up shipping both ways.

Shoot it as is. Then you won't be doing any damage. The home done melt is for thumb comfort. If you really need to, do a cold blue at home and call it good. Shoot away!

I probably wouldn't do anything to it unless it's covered by warranty. The gun was probably in the $250 when new so I personally wouldn't put a bunch of money in it.

Spend no money, shoot it, have fun. Repeat.

I always say; Pretty never shot any better. But, it is yours so whatever makes you happiest.

 

[PGRChaplain]

Choot It! Bill Ruger made that gun to be shot. Like Dave ^ said, "Pretty never shot any better".

"Pretty never shot any better".

It's a good thing or I'd never hit anything.
I'd have to vote with the "enjoy it like it is" crowd. Assuming you are lucky enough to run into a mess of reasonably priced 22LR.
Or, you could just sell it to me?

 

[joshimes]

Leave it as is. You won't be sorry.

 

[rgrimm01]

If mine, I would leave it like it is as long as functionality has not been compromised. Looks like it has oodles of character.

Send it in to ruger. They'll re blue it for free and make it look pretty darn good.

It was made for shooting not for looking at.

i like worn-in guns. shoot the crap out of it.

I'd get Allen to clean it up and cerakote it.
