New Bearcat question
Posted: Sat May 04, 2013 10:40 am
Just bought my first Ruger Bearcat. It is stainless, with a manufacture date of March 2013. I've read they have always come with aluminum ejector housings, but mine is stainless. I know there is a Lipsey's special run with short barrel, birds head grip, and stainless ejector housing, but mine is the standard model with square butt and four inch barrel. Bought it new on Gunbroker out of Georgia. I might be suspicious that someone had put an aftermarket steel ejector housing on it, but it is clearly brand new, test-fired at the factory on March 25. Yesterday I saw a stainless Bearcat at Cabela's and it had the aluminum ejector housing. So I wonder if Ruger is transitioning away from the criticized aluminum ejector housing for new Bearcats. Or, did I just get an anomaly?
