Happy Friday, All!

Looking at the link below, I am left wondering...
What is the SN cutoff for flattop .357s? 1963?

Surely, this has been covered before; I haven't found anything that gives specifics, though.

Thank you

I have a .357/9mm Flattop made in 2015. I believe it was a distributor special. I had Ruger convert it to a Bisley.

Thanks Hawkeye, I went back to check the serial to see if mine was actually new/old stock made earlier, and discovered I can not find the serial in the Ruger site. It is 521- series and I find none with that prefix. Test fired date on mine was July 8, 2015 so it must be a new series not yet listed by Ruger. I also don't know for sure if it was a distributor exclusive.

Well, a 521 is definitely a New Model. Beyond that, I can't help ya.

Current procedure is to submit a request for info accompanied by $10 . . . but you might luck out.
