I thought the ROA should look more like a Remington, so I resculpted the topstrap.
I don't know why Ruger didn't shape it this way, as the adjustable sighted version is, and the same cutters would result in this shape.

A definite improvement.

That's a good idea. Nice work.

Remember, Ruger isn't into authentic appearances, I think they like having their own look. Good thing they put enough metal in them to do that.
