I have a blued one that has a good amount of filing in that area and am curious if thats something the factory did or if someone filed it for some reason. Ive looked at pics online and cant find any clear pics of that area. Thanks. Last edited by DanN; 02/14/18 08:13 PM.

I'd ask on the Ruger forum at www.go2gbo.com AND the Rugerownersforum Google is your friend. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

With the bolt removed you would be looking at the side of the left locking lug on the bolt. You cant see see this area with the bolt in the gun because it is hidden in the channel in the receiver. I will try to borrow a good camera and get a picture. Im assuming this was factory fitting with a file, but ruger says they dont do that ? Idk ? The gun is older , made in 1989-90.
