Just arrived about a hour ago. Made in 1989, sold for 238.00. This is my first
un-fired one. I probably will keep it, but I shouldn't .

Now that...

... was a great find and deal! You could make some good money on it, especially un-fired. Congrats!!!

Gave it a action job, trigger under a lb now, installed trigger shoe and trigger
stop. New grips, all ready to go and shoot the "10" ring out now, Ha!

I bought this to re-sell, but I'm having second thoughts.

What did you do with the lighting? It's better in the second picture. Shadows in the corners and no darkness around the ROA.
 
That is correct. I paid 375, which I thought was a buy price. Just don't tell my
wife I'm having second thoughts about keeping it. I got her convinced I bought
it to re-sell.
 
The grips I got straight from Ruger. Just plastic as for as I know.


I just checked the Ruger store, they are bonded Ivory it says.

It is no longer new, you modified it from it's original factory condition.

Shame, not many new ROAs around.
 
Yep, I ruined it. Probably couldn't get 100.00 for it now. Guess I will just keep
it and shoot it.

PS, What makes you think I can't put it back like when I bought it and you
would never know the difference?

Honesty is a virtue.

You just taught me something about buying from you.
 
I could never buy an older unfired gun. I buy guns to shoot not just look at and I would be way too tempted to shoot it and its gone this long without being shot. Props to you for shooting it.

I do agree you could put the stock parts back on it and sale it as an unmodified gun. But once fired, even just once it's no longer an unfired gun. Doesn't matter if its once or 1000 times, it ruins the value. Pulling the trigger on an unfired gun is look signing the title on a new car. It's no longer new and became used.
