Found this little deal yeasterday and felt so sad for it I just had to adopt it. By ser # it seems to have been born in '71 according to Ruger anyway. Came with three mags and needed a serious bath (I guess I wasn't aware Elmers glue and sand made acceptable gun lube )
So, is this a Standard or a MK I? I can't seem to makes heads or tails of the online info. Is the odd ball mag the original factory equipment? The guy thought it was but I also know he doesn't know how to clean guns. I do know the two with Ruger emblems are new production mags. Are both grips supposed to have Ruger emblems or are these correct? Was it worth ~$250 in some cash and trade stuffs? Anything else the Ruger experts wish to add, besides go shoot it once I can find ammo?
