New to me today. Replaced the cheesy grips with some old school walnut. I really like it. Kind of a heavy trigger @ 7 lbs. What do you all think?

I just picked this older mini 14 at my LGS. Was a LE trade in. Serial number indicates it was made in 1987 or 88. The stock was recently refinished. My research says Ruger used and uses birch for most all their rifle stock, but this wood seems more like oak. Opinions are welcome.

New 1911 government model. In the grooves the metal is colored like bronze or copper. Is that normal? Please tell me that's not rust.

All I can say is WOW. Can't wait to get this one out on the range.
