Another off-topic post, a tribute to the old WWII

High Standard suppressed 22 auto of Bill Donavan OSS fame.

This old Ruger Standard was a complete train wreck, to include a drilled out chamber and sprung gripframe. Many gouges and abuses. It looked like a good candidate for prototyping. The barrel was replaced with a slice out of a AR barrel, 1-9" twist. Really wanted to be able to shoot the Aguila 60gr bullets and was curious how the slightly oversize dimensions and fast twist would work.

Nothing special on the inside, just K-baffles and the 4.3" barrel is ported very near the muzzle into a reflex area over the .400" diameter barrel.

Made a new taller rear sight to suit the front. Added a Volq extended mag release.

Bead blasted everything and coated in Norrel's Moly Resin Grayish-Black. Cured at a slightly higher temp to turn it greenish similar to Parkerizing that has been stored in cosmolene.

Shoots good, but the 60gr Aguila ammo is unobtainable right now.

Plan to use this as a test mule in my shop for various ideas.
