I saw a Ruger RST4, Serial No. 53XXX (1953) est. to be in 70-80% condition at a local gun shop. Tapered bolt ears with the flat on top.

Curious what it might be worth. Asking price is $250 but dealer would let it go for $225.

There are two RST4's with tapered bolt ears made in 1952 and 1953 that are listed for $425 and $450 on Gunbroker.

I knew that is way too high. Since over 30,000 with tapered bolt ears were sold, I doubted that they would be considered collectibles.
