    Long barrel revolvers.

    The 21" Super Redhawks definitely came out of the Ruger factory that way. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now but there were around 100 in .44 mag and 150 or so in .357 (just think of that!! When did anybody know Ruger ever made a Super Redhawk in .357 Mag.??). These were all...

    USMC Marked Security Six??

    One thing to remember when discussing Ruger contracts... did Ruger actually produce the model for them in a shipment? Or were the guns procured after they left the factory? To know would make a big difference in price/demand. Chet15

    Ruger 77 R-Z?

    The "Z" model green laminate was Ruger's first laminate offering in 1986. They were offered in the 77/22, Mini-14 and several different calibers of M77 tang safety. They seemed to be popular at first but then WBR noticed another company also began using that same laminate (savage maybe?)...

    Which Production Plant Does The Wrangler/Super Made

    So as I understand it, just the warning statement is on the underside of the wrangler barrel? If that is the case, then Ruger decided they better get the Prescott address on their Wranglers, hence the change in frame rollmarks. If Delbert's gun does not have the one line Warning statement, then...

    Which Production Plant Does The Wrangler/Super Made

    Ruger changed the rollmarking on the Super Wrangler sometime between your 209-01120 and 209-02284 And on the fixed sight guns it was changed sometime just before 208-05190. Chet15

    Which Production Plant Does The Wrangler/Super Made

    As far as I know, Wranglers have always been made in Prescott, AZ. If Ruger's website says the service department for the Wrangler is in Arizona that would be the indication that that is also where they started production. I guess I don't know at the moment if the Wranglers have a barrel...

    SP101 tooling marks/frame damage

    Funny you mention that. My dad used to work at a auto repair shop. They had a customer come in with the complaint that there was a rattle coming from somewhere in the rear end of his new pickup. They tore the quarterpanel off and found a beer can inside. Chet15

    I have 2 Blackhawks

    serial numbers will only show up on this particular page "IF" the number was digitally entered onto this system. I have not been able to research any individual serial number older than 1976, and from 1976 to about 1984 it is real iffy if those will show up as well. So if somebody wants...

    Milestone serial number 10/22

    The lot sold for $529 and came with a plinker Savage .22 rifle with scope. The 10/22 was serial number 231-00000. Chet15

    Blackhawk 7.5 inch convertible

    Correct and correct I think Davidson's had the exclusive on both the 7-1/2" .45 Blackhawk and New Vaquero, but they've not offered those for a while now. Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually do another run though. Chet15

    77/22 rifle prices

    Boatpaddle M77 Mark II collecting has really came into its own the last couple years. Ruger literally made a few thousands of each model (at least) so rarity is not the issue for most models (except blue barreled actions in the centerfires). I think this has caught on with shooters because the...

    Long Frame Super Blackhawks

    Look at the toe of the grip frame if there is a decent picture that shows that. A long frame is pointed, short frame is nicely rounded. Chet15
