I was looking at a Ruger revolver at a pawnshop today. I was kind of interested in it if they would come down a little but when I examined it closely, it appeared to have some little spots along the barrel and a few other places.
I couldn't tell if it was pitting that had been sanded and the gun re-finished or what. The blueing looked good and I'm no expert so really couldn't tell if it had been re-blued.
I know Ruger uses a casting process instead of forged. Does that sometimes create little "dots", very small imperfections in the steel ?
I never noticed it on any other Ruger revolvers I've owned in the past.
