Similar experience here. I bought a used Ruger Mark I .22 pistol that was probably 30 years old at the LGS consignment shelf. After one outing it had problems; the trigger would not reset. I sent the gun in on my dime and authorized Ruger to charge my card to fix the gun. They did not charge my card, they replaced a whole plethora of parts, and shipped the gun back to me at their expense in about a week. The gun has functioned great ever since. For this reason I never hesitate to buy a new or used Ruger -- I know that they stand behind their products and they don't hassle you about being the original owner, proof of purchase, or any of that nonsense.
