Short of replacing the receiver I don't see how they could fix holes drilled off center

Remove the finish. Tig weld the holes sand down the welds. 're drill. But weld slag don't blue like UN welded metal does. Will see blemishes.

 

[jackrabbit000]

It Wouldn't hurt to ask if they will replace the gun/receiver. Send an email to Karla with pics.

I did. Waiting to hear from her. I heard back from snap shots last night around 11. Saying it's defected and wouldn't worry about going after the seller or business. They will handle it. So waiting on what the process will be because I told them I saw less then par 're weld jobs. That I really want a new straight drilled receiver. So waiting to hear back.

You would think it would be cheaper for Ruger to pull a receiver out of the parts bin than to weld, tap and refinish. Anyway, good luck.

They done it before on Ruger barrels with miss cut dovetails, so it wouldnt surprise me if they did the same.

Still got a good deal way below retail ( Target model 375 shipped with 3 mags ). I'm pretty passive and let things slide. I cannot find the ad anymore to catch him. I was shocked when he got into privacy act, that he cannot say. So then I knew it was used. So I took it apart and found out. One of those NEW to him, but NOT new. I don't believe in the trading system anyways. Always more then what can be put in the generic.

Then there is this.

I am confused as to what this picture is supposed to illustrate. I see nothing out of the ordinary.

I'd just shorten my right leg .

Why would they only polish one area.

 

[Halger280HVMag]

Probably because the polished area is only cosmetic. The remainder of the bolt seems well finished under the blue.

2 cents.

Why would they only polish one area.

 

[red_bailey]

Terrible, terrible quality control there; glad you should be taken care of.

Why would they only polish one area.

That part of the bolt is in the white, and shows through the ejection cut-out in the receiver. The rear part is blued where the cocking grabby bits are to match the receiver, and the part that slides in the tube is also blue so it doesn't stand out. It's a cosmetic choice.

There has to be a transition somewhere.

Please change the feedback to neutral. Leaving it positive is simply leaving a landmine for someone else to step on.

My one and only Ruger purchase (a 10/22) came with the rear sight so badly out of line that it was visible to the naked eye that it was sticking out to one side a 1/4" or more once I looked closely. It wouldn't even put rounds on the backer board at 50 yards much less the target. So much stuff made today is just crap.
