I just bought a walnut compact with an LC6 trigger. With a little digging around you should be able to find one on the shelf. Look at the back of the trigger. If it has a long groove it is an LC6. Look back a few weeks in the posts here and you will see a discussion about this and serial numbers to look for, etc. I bought the walnut because the stainless is too shiny. I think the lam stock is also too bright. I love the rifle and notice NO aditional recoil or muzzle jump. I put a Leupold 2X7X33mm which fits perfectly and offers a great field of view. The 40mm might be a little large for the gun. The frontier is NOT the same as the compact. It is substantially heavier and I feel it kinda defeats the purpose of getting this tiny gun. Also, I think the Frontier is more money because of the mount which you will not be using. Lastly...There is a post on here about compacts with stainless where somebody dulled the finish by rubbing something on it. Can't remember. A search here on "compacts" should bring it up. It was a response to one of my posts in the last year or so. I would classify my little Ruger as perfect if it had a clip and I could quiet down that gosh awful safety. Actually if I could mount a three position Savage tang on it! God Bless and Good luck!
