Sir;
Maybe a bit off the subject but years ago in one of the early Mod. 77s I found one, new from the factory that had tremendous voids where the steel had not filled the wax casting method. They were along the left side of the action where it wouldn't matter (?) but it certainly would have to me!
Ruger will be glad to replace it, I'm sure without charge.
