Got a new to me, 1962 vintage Ruger Standard pistol a few weeks ago. Just brought it to the range and it was a very accurate gun. Function was good until I had two instances of it going full auto for remainder of the clip. After the first occupance I broke it down and inspected. All looked good to me so did a quick wipe down and put back together. The second occurance occurred after 20 more rounds and agin went full auto and ended with a fire out of battery and case head separation.
After bringing it home I broke it down for a complete inspection and figured I’d see a worn firing pin or sear, or very dirty internals. Non of the above. It does have a non-original, later year magazine which I’m already in the process of replacing.
What should I look for before I decide to send it back to Ruger for service? Any suggestions?
