Deerstalker + Moose = Microed RSSM

[americal]

I finally found out how Deerstalker :arrow: Scott found so many Rugers in Alaska,he had a trained moose to get him to some rough places to purchase Ruger SA's,he said he drank to much in his younger days :arrow: I ain't buying that story :lol: posted a microed RSSM in the classifieds,I thought it was a well worn gun but when it got here I was pleasently suprized serial # 302346

Now that's a dandy... Great snag!

(He'll be able to retire that moose... He'll can fly 'em in with his new 180 )

Chad's book came in handy on this one it has a high polished barrel and wide base pin flats,the high polish looks right--like on the SUPER BLACKHAWKE'S--that were coming out at that time --it was shipped in sept. of 1959 so someone may have been practiceing their polishing skills :lol: rollmark is not blurred at all,factory said the invoice said nothing of what the grips were --so no RSSMW but who knows-----

 

[RugerHound]

Now that's interesting! I have an RSS, SN 138683 that Ruger was able to tell me shipped in June 59 with hard rubber grips.

But it doesn't have sights like that one!!

RH thats just the way ruger records are sometimes the invoice will have the type grips noted sometimes not--the earliest RSSMW reported is serial #311462 according to RENE so these were added later --the gun could have went to Micro Sight Co. as they were a early distributer and the grips added there with the micro front and rear sight or the individual who owned the gun put the grips and aftermarket sights on it--I am 99.9% + sure the factory had NOTHING to do with the MICRO SIGHTS :!: Micro would install the sights for 1.50 --that front sight is called the Quick Draw model front blade--hope I got all this right if not correct me guys

A dollar 50! About 12 bottles of Coca Cola in those day! (Or ~4-5 draft beers...)

I was looking thru an old shooters bible and the micro sights were $15, considering the gun was like $62, that's quite a bit. Guess that's why you see so few. If I hadn't picked one up the week before this one showed up, it would have been headed to the east coast - nice snag and killer grips.

Thanks to all you guys 22 way to go 8) would love for you to tell me about your micro--and post a picture if you can

Sure, here it is. Should make a neat shooter. Bought from original owner, who had a unfluted NM mag cylinder fitted to it by ruger. Also came with a ace trigger shoe. Unconverted last night

Only two things to say,

#1. Some times it feels good to know you sold a gun to the right guy, I own that gun and after a few -e-mail's. I then sold it to the "right guy" some times its NOT about the sale. enjoy that gun!

#2. I would have to disagree with you, Ruger had its hands in at least one Ruger with "Micro Sight". I have a 1958 Flat Top that was sent back to Ruger 33 years later, (1981) re-fitted with a "Super" cylinder and was fitted with a "Micro Sight". the paper work on the Ruger work Order is "Clear". ser# is listed, change the Cylinder is listed, add a Micro sight is listed on that ORIGINAL Ruger work order. (NOT a copy) Im a fair and intelligent man, Fully knowing that "things" happen at the Ruger factory as "Special orders for a friend", "favors", "make it happen", dude! do this for my bro, or an employee made his own "Mods", this happens all the time. BUT, the bottom line is that I have the Original work order and it says what it says. Ruger at one time, for what ever reason? made this 44 Flat Top with all the changes to this gun over thirty years ago. this gun was sent back to a gun shop in Fairbanks, Alaska. and has NOT been fired since.

To say Ruger Never made a gun or had any thing to do with a Micro Sight's? thats B/S. I have one, and can prove it.

Its a cool gun........Scott

NICE MICRO 22 :!: :!: sure has not been shot much--bet that will change soon thanks for the picture :!:

 

[Ale-8(1)]

All together now . . .

"With Ruger, never say never!"

 

[ten22]

Americal, check the serial, can't be too many micros like that huh...

 

[americal]

GOOD GRIEF :lol: a D gun how cool can you get first and only D marked microed RSS I have seen or know about :!: :!:

 

[hittman]

...... the proof is in the pictures! .......

 

[mr.deerstalker]

If ya cant take the 22 Micro with a "D" in the the SER#?, how about a 44 Flat Top with an "S" stamped "Micro".

just getten your goat up!

I really like it :!: :!: :!: but I am a microsight RSS collector ,it does prove as far as I know by the paper work to be what I call a ruger custom gun -- What did the factory say :?: :?: very interesting RUGER some will like it --some will not :arrow: just depends on personal interest first paper work that micro sights were put on at the ruger factory so a important gun to me

on futher inspection it looks to have some kind of spray application on the grip frame and the gun has been polished out quite a bit--which is a negative for it ----

Does the gun letter as an "S" gun?
Same question for the "D" gun?
Thanks for sharing
