Found: Pre-warning GS-84

Found a pre-warning GS-84, ser. no. 151-66416, shipped Oct. 1975, as confirmed by the nice lady at Ruger records.





Chad has listed "GS-84 only known s/n 151-49547" under "high back grip frame and no 'Liberty' or 'Warning' rollmark."
The GS-84 is a non-cataloged model, in that it was never listed on the Dealer Price Sheets nor in any of the annual Ruger brochures.

I'll say one thing Terry T, you are one hound that doesn't quit when it comes to the Ruger Security, Service and Speed six models.

I'm sure California was one of Ruger's bigger markets, but not being able to import those models isn't helping you at all.

You are one tough dog when on the scent. Congratulations.

Hey, nice one! I have one too, minus the Herrets, 151-49547 but I never called for a ship date. I think it's the top one in this pic:

Got a Liberty version, 152-35738 that is pre-warning but no pic handy.

308longdistance,

Your statement of "...but not being able to import those models isn't helping you at all..." is totally accurate. I wish others appreciated what we face here: We can't import handguns, that aren't on our blasted certification list, aren't C & R's, or aren't exempted from the certification requirement. And, the resulting artificially-created shortage has driven prices way up on the ones already in the state. TerryT was lucky.
