Kansas City Munny Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Just a simple question pards. It's not clear in the Shooters Handbook, but is replacement of the standard Ruger base pins with an aftermarket unit like Power Customs allowed? Thanks!

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I swapped mine out for a shorter one so it would come completely out. Feel it aids in cleaning. OMVs are case hardened or whatever Ruger called it and pin is SS. Never had anyone take note of different finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas City Munny Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 My question is mostly prompted by what I think is unusual wear of the finish on one of the pins for one of my match guns. I have two blued 512 series NMV which I've been shooting for a little more than two years. There are probably 1000-1500 rounds through each pistol, but one pin is almost devoid of any factory bluing. Both guns function perfectly and shoot identical. I don't pick one or the other to be holstered right vs. left. I'm not sure if it's the bluing, pin, cylinder, or what, so I was considering aftermarket pins for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Oh Heck K.C. I was thinking you had a mechanical problem. You can certainly fix your cosmetic problem with a Black Permanent Sharpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bluing will wear off. There is nothing wrong. Don't waste your money on something you do not need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured the bluing would wear, but with the same round count in both pistols, it's just strange that one is considerably more worn than the other. As I said, both function perfectly well, so my initial thought was to run them until they don't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
