It's a custom build with lots of work put into it, so who knows how much of it is still the original ruger gun. Enough to maintain it's serial number. Nice work.

It's illegal, and incredibly stupid and dangerous. Which never stopped anybody from doing anything I guess. Those zoraki guns won't stand up to the pressures of live ammo. Even if you mill your own...
