Ask Ruger...worse case is usually you mail it to Ruger directly, but they will have to send it to an FFL to transfer back to you.
Feed Ramp gouge on Ruger MKIV target

- Start date
If you bought it there, and your dealer is worth anything at all, they'll send it back to Ruger for you (no charge).
What a beaut she is. Love those grips.One of my favorites too. I own the same model, though purchased 30 years ago. I have since bought three or four more variants (anniversary edition, short barrel, threaded barrel), just because I like them. Two I have never even gotten around to shooting.
Had an aftermarket trigger (with trigger stop) installed and trigger job performed as well as Millet target sights. I forget where I got the grips.
Rugers are not super sexy but are the "Toyota" of guns...darn reliable and just run and run.

Does that have the chambered round indicator on the port side?
Ive got a never been fired limited edition Bill Ruger signature SS one with the tapered barrel and original " salt cod" box I'll put up when I get back home. (I have no idea why its called a salt cod box)
I prefer the older tapered barrel guns, but Ive never met one of these I didnt like.

No loaded chamber indicator...this was made way before that. I think I bought this new in the mid 1990s.
I also have a tapered barrel 50th anniversary addition in blued finish. Its a safe queen, unfired. Has some of the earlier features, including the red grip insert and no scallops for the bolt, but I guess they have returned to red insert grips based on the OPs example. Bill Ruger had the grips made in black after his partner Alexander Sturm passed in 1951, but returned to red just for the anniversary addition pistols.
I guess Ruger went back to red grip medallions in the 2010s? (searched online)

Did you have both the LR and WMR? With mine, the WMR was better made and that’s all I leave in the gun bcs they are far superior …
Cost of the rounds do not matter as I don’t shoot it much.
I have a Mark II Stainless Target that I bought in college. I'll bet you I have run at least 100k rounds through it with zero problems and all original parts. I have ran so many rounds through it in one session that I would lead the barrel. One time so bad that you could barely make out the rifling.

I have the Bull Barrel 22/45 Version. in black with rosewood grips. Yeah I love that gun.
How long have you had the gun? Did you buy it new? perhaps Ruger should be looking into your warranty.
Ruger does not have a warranty ,but is known to take care of issues with their firearms .
I have that same gun . I shot it today in fact .
