what are your reasons for disliking the Red Label action for conversion?

It is an investment cast SS action, not a forging.



Bill Ruger made a strong case for his claim that investment-cast gun parts are superior to forgings.
After several decades of using Ruger products in some very intense chamberings and long, hard use,
I have never seen a Ruger casting fail. Machined forgings often look more classey, but I don't believe that quality investment castings are mechanically inferior.

Take care, Tom




Maybe this is the place to ask...

Some time ago I flattened a Ruger bolt handle as I like a flat bolt handle, being a lefty with the gun a righty it makes for easier manipulation and less cramping agains the scope when reaching over.

Anyway, there was a large occlusion in the center of the handle knob. It was unsightly so I drilled it out and made a ring-type bolt handle knob.

But...this gave me pause for thought.

How do they check for such in the lugs?
