Yes, it is a success! It never had the kind of demand built up for it that the ~$800 AR-15 rifles had; however, the SR556 has been outselling many of the lower end guns over the past few months. (for my company at least) Ruger seems to believe that it is a success as well. They introduced the...

For What it is worth... We received our first 10 of the LCR .357's on Monday (August 2nd). The lowest serial number was #338. The guns came in earmarked for 2 specific Ruger promotions in Ohio later this month. I Don't show that any have shipped to us so far this week, but theya re showing...

I spoke with the powers that be at Hornady late last year, and they assured me that they plan to keep loading .480 for the forseeable future. As several others have stated, it is a straight wall case, and possible to make from other brass. When you compare the selling price of the average box...

That is a very good price!

"Interesting. My own impression, and that's all it is, is that the 460 never approached the popularity of the 500. Be interesting if someone with actual sales knowledge could chime in." In the big S&W guns, we sell the .500 at a 2 to 1 ratio over the .460. Personally I like the .460 because...

I just went through our serial number history since 1999, and found the following "D" prefix Super Redhawks: D55117256 KSRH9 D55122382 KSRH9 D55187764 KSRH9 D55253553 KSRH7454 D55255248 KSRH7 We probably had some before the database was started in 1999, but I would doubt if it was more than 1...

There shouldn't be a shortage of the 9 1/2" for quite a while. We have 15 of the 7 1/2", and 402 of the 9 1/2" on hand at the moment. Actually, I do hope there is a shortage! That would mean that we would have sold all of these 9 1/2" I bought... Thanks, Kent

The highest I have seen is 370-89131

We are down to 18 pieces left of the R6513. Stainless 4 5/8" Birdshead. Looking back through our sales history here are the breakdowns of which models we had, sales numbers, and time frame. My database for these only goes back to 2000, so this misses earlier sales. R6509, 40 units SSM4FI...

Has anybody ever heard of converting one of them to .454 Casull? I was dinking around with 1 of my Dad's 10" (not shooting, just thinking) the other day, and it looked like you could re-barrel, recylinder, etc. On the .357 Maximum ammo, has anybody tried it with modern bullet designs? I...

Our latest shipment of the SR-556 has serial numbers over 8000, so this one is comparatively low.

The last batch to come through was all in Red boxes. We have another batch on the way (shipped Wednesday from Newport). Once they get here I will post regarding the box colors in this shipment.

At the moment we have 7 units still available out of the 25 units on the way from Ruger. I am still trying to check on alternate barrel lengths. No luck yet, but hope springs eternal! Thanks, Kent

For those of you who asked.... 25 pieces of the .41 Magnum Flat top left Newport headed our way yesterday. After backorders on hand at the moment, we have 12 open to sell. I expect to learn about additional production later this week. Thanks, Kent

We received our first 3 sets on 9/28. The guns look great. Mike---- Your dealer gave you an extremely good deal!
