*THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTION OR DESCRIPTION. YOU EITHER KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT OR YOU DON'T*
Looking for input from firearms industry historians, etc. This is about Bill Ruger.
When did the 'modification' first appear?
Who did it?
With his public positions on establishing a firm line in the sand between a duty weapon and a civilian weapon - (The mag thing, etc... I get that and all it entails...) Was this something that kept him up at night?
There are innumerable semi action rifles that although similar - they require a fairly substantive re-fit to operate like their battle-brethren. Not just drop-in stuff - but the entire re machining of parts to allow the operational parts to even work. (HK is renowned for reverse engineering their stuff to keep this from happening.) I know about paper clips and the sort - those just short circuit a sear and it's luck that keep one from over - running a bolt..
I'm talking about the string. (Well, trying not to...)
Could this one faux pa of design be a reason for his positions on magazines?
Mods - feel free to kill this if it's too much. Just trying to explore a mystery...
