Just lucky i guess. Maybe i should start buying lotery tickets. I could use the extra money to spend on these single actions!!

My brother has 17448 and he wont sell it to me!

I got the leters for the two revolvers. They both shipped sept 61 as RSS4W. Im in the process of purchasing the correct frame and grips from someone here on the classified section. Thanks to all for the good info!!

Thanks for the welcome and reply Contender! I just received leters from ruger on two revolvers. One is serial number 187144 it has XR3 frame with walnut grips. The other i bought for obvious reasons is 187145 it has XR3 RED frame. They both were shipped in sept 61 as RSS4W. I know it will be...

Looking for xr3 grip frame and walnut grips. Must be in good condition. Recently purchased an old model single six that has had the grip frame swapped out with an XR3-RED. Thanks Joe

Thanks for the replies! Yeah my heart skipped a beat when I realized i was looking at a consecutive number to the one i just bought a couple weeks prior. Of coarse i had to buy it also. I will send in to letters for em and go from there. Joe

Yes you are. Picked up one at a local gun store and the other off gunbroker about 3 weeks apart. Kinda lucky huh!
