Is this a Ruger?

Ruger... and the ejector housing looks someone has used the barrel to pistol whip a telephone pole.

That, the bubba-ized screw as base-pin latch, and the seller not having a clue would tell me to steer clear.... :mad:
 
Consider Having it Hard Chromed

I'd pay $250 for it. Wouldn't spend a dime on a refinish. It's a shooter and a re-finish just makes it a $450 shooter instead of a $250 shooter. Nothing collectable about it either way
I agree if you're talking about bluing, but having a gun like that hard chromed is entirely different. Yes it adds cost to the gun, but I don't know anyone who doesn't like a beautiful handgun. I had my Beretta 70S .22LR hard chromed by Mahovsky's a few years back and they did an outstanding job on it. Not only does it enhance the beauty of the gun, it increases resale value, isn't susceptible to holster wear, stops the wearing process externally and internally (even barrel wear) and it protects against rust and corrosion -- so morning mist and rain ☔ won't bother you. Essentially, it's like having a stainless gun. If you're a hunter and worried about glare, you can get in matte, though I like the standard finish better. For more info, check out http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/Metalife Finish Page 2.htm.



This is how my Beretta turned out. I've had several people at the range
ask me if I wanted to sell it. Some initially thought it was stainless.
