Evening Win-Mag : well, it sure didn’t take you long to solve that annoying factory oversight. Well Done. Very ingenious, would not have thought to drill the Ruger “R” in the pistol grip cap. You are slowly but surely removing my reticience to get ahold of these little guys. The range testing may seal the deal.
One caveat: I should not have trusted the new-fangled "child friendly" grape-scented plastic glue. It didn't hold at all, so I bought some Locktite "super glue 2" (cyanocrylate) with plastic primer, and glued the grip cap in properly.
Now, I seem to remember something about a federal "war on plastic glue" many years ago. So be sure you have the proper plastic glue for jobs like this.
Of course, I succumbed to temptation. I've learned my lesson.
They put it in the case that morning, had a couple of guys look at it, so I knew what had to be done. After a good going-over and Nanolube, one box of ammo, and then it takes an honored place as a safe queen.
