I observed a 7 1/2" barreled Bisley Revolver today with serial number 37-569XX. I checked the new Ruger serial number lookup and it listed 2005 as the manufacturer year, I then looked at my RENE pocket guide and that serial number is listed as being in the 1998 serial number range for the Blackhawk....I would normally trust the RENE over the Ruger website except the fired case envelope listed Feb 2005 as the test fire date....my question is did Ruger serial number these frames in 1998 and not build the revolver until 2005?? model number is 00331, it is an RB-35W revolver....I have it on hold for now....I think I want to buy it. :lol:
Thanks for any insight ...
