I'm with you, Jim. My common sense tells me that the Ruger I looked at has been refinished, but it's such a good job with meticulous attention to detail.
Regarding US marked parked guns, the Ruger forums claim that only guns that went to armorers for refurb were parked; As originally purchased by the gov't, they were all blued just like any other Ruger.
At any rate, this is not a US gun, just a regular early 6" bbl. Standard.
It just puzzles me to see Parkerized components with blued factory staked pins installed.
All I can say is: Whomever did it, did one hell of a job.
