It arrived at the FFL and I was finally able to pick it up. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Is the serial number on the box the normal way the factory marked them?

On the way home Monday I stopped by and made a deal on it. It should arrive later this week.

I called the shop and had him check a couple of things. The serial # is on the side of the box and does have the D. The cylinder that’s in it is the LR one. The magnum cylinder is missing.

Thanks for all the info. I figured out what the D prefix means. I think the serial number on the box also had the D but can’t remember. I can’t believe I didn’t take a bunch of photos. Being at a pawn shop I figured the price was high. Just trying to figure out what a reasonable offer would be...

Rear sight was adjustable for windage only. It did have a D prefix. Is this significant? The serial number was written on the end of the box on the opposite end from the label. I’m not sure the dealer realizes that it is a magnum. It wasn’t written on the tag.

Need some help. Were on vacation so I don’t have access to any of my reference books. I visited a pawn shop this morning and found a 6 1/2” Single Six with a 501xxx serial #. According to the Ruger website this would be a 1968 Magnum model. There were no indication on the frame, barrel or...

I would rate it as good, not excellent. There is no box or papers. I was surprised when I didn't find any on Gunbroker.

I found one of these in a local pawn shop and I'm trying to figure out what it's worth. I checked Gunbroker and there's not any on there. It's the blued version and in good condition.

These things keep following me home.

Those are nice, especially the Mountie!!

That's a nice one. You don't see very many 99C's around.

That's a nice 99. They are some of my favorite leverguns. I've got several of them but my favorite is my 1899H in .303 Savage made in 1914.

That's a beautiful gun. I love the old SxS's especially the hammer guns.

That's a beautiful 97. You don't find them in that condition. I've got a 16ga 97 made in 1914. There's not a speck of the original finish left on it.

I've had a soft spot for Ithaca 37's for a long time. The first gun I ever had that was mine was a 1970 Ithaca 37 Deluxe that I got for Christmas when I was 12. Now I've accumulated three Deluxe models. Top to bottom they are: 1973 20 ga. with a 26" cylinder barrel 1975 12 ga. with a 26"...
