Maybe Ruger did not have a warranty in the 1980's but they did take care of their customers. I had a several year old MKII that got fired a lot. Like a brick a week. It was a recreational gun and was shared by two people for bullseye leagues most of the year. It started becoming undependable and accuracy was deteriorating, no matter how much it was cleaned. I sent it to Ruger and was nervous when it was almost 3 months without notice. (No email in those days) They changed the upper receiver/barrel assembly, the extractor, all the springs and even replaced the grip panels as a corner was chipped from the originals. There was a hand written note on the statement that said something like "If you shot it enough in a few years to wear it this heavily, you must really like it, so enjoy this rebuild no charge"
I never forgot this service and bought a Super Redhawk, a couple of GP100's an SP101 and a Rifle from them.
I have had one S&W rifle covered under warranty, and sent back a couple of worn revolvers. The repairs have always been satisfactory, and really cheap.
