just a point of information, there is an Old model "S" gun over here on the west side of town, that was shipped in a new model box, and has the old model white label sticker on the end......the original owner still has the complete package, and letter from Ruger, and bill of sale from Cleveland Sports Headquaters............1973
A few of the guys are aware of it, and the owner still has NOT decided to sell ( wanted to trade) for it, with our own Bill, the appleman, in fact the 'radical 'one met and talked with him at one of the OGCA shows, sometime back..............I do not recall the exact number but had passed it on to Chad some years ago......
sorry you BKH did not 'letter' as an "X" 'Axe" but we see that happen all too often, good enough reason that Bob ( or 'Ale-8') do NOT make the note change too quickly..... :wink:
