So many hawkeyes, so little time....
I have a few bk- 28 that are naked...with only 3300 know left the factory. That a hard box to find, its complete. And makes a low ser gun more valuable.
It only took 2 min, if you wait. It would be gone...

Errata: do not think 3300 left the factory........confidants say a pallet of Hawkeyes and parts went to the Pine Tree Casting ops and were destroyed because the lawyers and bean counters thought them a liability.....WTH kind of screwed up thought process is the basis for this? BTW...........NICE BOX!
I did a tour of the factory 27 / 30 years ago, I asked that about them, that was there answer, 5 to 5.K made, just under 3300 shipped.
I'm thinking I should have followed up with what happened the the rest, but I know of one factory employee received one for a retirement gifts in 1988.
I'm just relaying what I was told at Ruger back in the day.
