A little sandpaper and some elbow grease and you could turn that bull barrel down in about a decade.Just never took a shine to bull barrels.
Well, a .22LR is roughly an inch, so it makes sense then.
I knew that is a 6 7/8 have you shout it yet?
take a picture of the bolt face... it does not look after market from here and are you sure your using your ruler right... hooking over vs pushing to sometimes makes a difference on tape measures
I doubt there is anything wrong with it or that it is an oddball but we will see... you will anyhow. still not sure why you sent it backNope sent it off to Ruger. They will go over it with a fine tooth comb. Tell me what I have / need and how much to repair/restore it.

Labguy47,
Thank you for taking care of those two lost soul and beautiful pistolas.
I've looked for and exact Mark for a while, so congrats.
Ruger seems to measure their barrels from the breech face, which may account for the difference. Makes sense since this is how the ATF measures them too.....It’s actually 7.5” but they call it 8”. And yes some of the older models had longer barrels (it’s a Mk II) on the target models.
A .22lr is not gonna "blow up in your face" it could at most fire out of battery and is not usually a big deal at all... if ya are wearing eye protection anyhow...The customer service rep was amazingly helpful and suggested it. I also agree that if altered, I’d like to know it’s safe to shoot. Nothing screams bad buy like a gun exploding in your face.

Got a call yesterday from Ruger repair,
I’ve still got the scar from a G22 that went Kaboom on me. I remember it well, wouldn’t care to repeat it. I think that one hurt more than getting hit by a car on the Harley. But like all things, if you do it long enough something is bound to happen.
yep there is a big difference between a 22lr and a .40 S&W power wise...
What did Ruger repair say?
