Before and after Ruger Standard Model.

[wired]

1954 Ruger standard model set up like a Vietnam era MAC MK1 . Finished up the parkerizing this morning. Eight QB titanium K baffles. I had rebuilt it 20 years ago but it never was a favorite. It is now.

Nice build! My Dad has a Ruger Mark II integrally suppressed. Lots of fun to shoot, crazy quiet even with cheap high velocity ammo (short barrel and good amount of suppressor volume), and surprisingly accurate due to the long sight radius.

I have fond memories of knocking down empty 12 GA shotgun shell hulls quietly at a fair distance with that thing! Someday I need to have someone build me one too.

How long is the barrel (not the suppressor shroud) on yours?

I have several. 5 I think. That one has a 2.5" barrel breech to muzzle.

"Hush Puppy"??

"Hush Puppy"??

The Hush puppy was a different non integral 9mm handgun built with a Smith and Wesson M39 pistol

I cringed at the thought of doing this to an early Ruger...

But it sure turned out nicely. Can you hear anything besides the action working?

It was somebody's tackle box gun when I got it. SSN engraved in the grip frame. Looked like it had been dragged behind a truck. That top pic is after I had sent it in to Ruger to get reblued after I ground the SSN off with a surface grinder. Its had two new leases on life.

Only hear the action working? No. This gun lives in the real world.

Like I said, it turned out nicely. My initial impression was based on what I would do, but it's not my gun and it wasn't meant disparagingly.
Sorry if that was lost in print.


It can't be very loud, can it?

The classic look of parkerization is something I wish more guns featured. Nice build @wired
