I own six Rugers. Five are stainless steel and of which two are Old Armies. So far, knock on wood, I haven't seen any weirdness develop on the surface of these SS firearms. As far as Ruger goes, they are right up there as being some of my favorite firearms. The qualitiy and workmanship are A Number One. Your mileage may vary.

Ruger has their own proprietary stainless steel, 409R I think. It's made to their specs and I have seen several articles on-line about it. Like any stainless, it's not rust proof, it's rust resistant. Ruger considered strength, machinibility and corrosion resistant properties.

Rusty Ruger
According to Ruger employee's I've visited with at the Shot Show, Ruger doesn't only do castings for themselves, they cast for many other firearms manufacturing companies. And the Shot Show has a display showing some of their castings. I own 21 Single Action Rugers, and several of their semi auto 22's, but no big bore semi auto's made by Ruger. Of the single actions, I have two stainless steel ROA and one which is blued. I have conversion cylinders for all three guns, and have used both SS guns with the cylinders, but not the blued model. I've owned these guns since 1984 and no pitting is apparent of any of them.
