    KBN-3275 any idea of how many where made?

    I had a feeling it might bring $1100-$1200 as the ones I had seen where in that range on GB. Mine was bought for $805 if I recall in 2017. I added $600 to the sale and turned the 327 into a 2006 NIB consecutive studio engraved set of KNV-455E. Not bad for 14 years old and close to original...

    KBN-3275 any idea of how many where made?

    I put a box through mine, just my thoughts on the 8 shot cylinder. Little difficult to load you had to have it lined up perfectly while loading it. Same goes for ejecting the spent cartridge. Fun to shoot and accurate, just the ringing in the ears. Wish I had bought 2 or 3 more that I have...

    KBN-3275 any idea of how many where made?

    Yea should have obviously put a couple more in the safe, I can say without a doubt it’s the most pleasant of the 327’s I have ever shot. All the 327 have a bad tendency of making my ears ring for a couple days after!

    KBN-3275 any idea of how many where made?

    I consigned mine to bryant ridge on GB, in all fairness I knew when I bought the 8 shot blackhawk that Ruger only made the 8 shot 327's the first year and maybe second year and after that they have all been 7 shot since, to the best of my recollection. My consigners are claiming ruger only made...

    Did ruger ever make a red label all weather w/ wood stocks

    Chet, called Ruger and gave them the serial number, the ever lovely and beautiful Ruger ladies told me it left the factory with blued barrels. Apparently the system is not up to date I am guessing! I did get to speak with the gentlemen over the shotgun repair department a couple weeks back...

    How many Gold Labels with "American style" stocks were made?

    My gold label seems so small compared to my red label 12 gauges. In all honesty it feels more like my RL 28 gauge just a little heavier. In all fairness I have not had my English stock very long but looking forward to shooting it soon.

    Did ruger ever make a red label all weather w/ wood stocks

    Chet, any idea why ruger would have it listed as a blued barrel w/ stainless receiver via the serial number? 2002 was not that long ago after all that records would be lost. The label on this one seems very strange given it overlaps with another label under it. While the bottom label seems to...

    Did ruger ever make a red label all weather w/ wood stocks

    I agree with regard to defeating the purpose of "all weather" status. Yes it does look good shiny non blued steel and polished stainless receiver. That gunbroker item sold for $2,426.00. Naturally I am strongly considering doing it to mine and flipping it for a pretty penny. Was curious as...

    77 value ?

    Personally I prefer the Mark II because of the 3 position safety, I can not recall seeing a m77 red pad tang safety in quality condition going for anything close to $400. Although $600 would actually still be a "STEAL" on a 7mag in great condition.

    Did ruger ever make a red label all weather w/ wood stocks

    I consider myself well versed in the red label on most accounts (8 currently in the safe) and I very well could be wrong in this. I do not believe Ruger ever made a all weather stainless red label in anything other than a synthetic stock, am I wrong? I purchased a all weather stainless that...

    Early ruger security six info

    Sorry should have included this for the history lesson concerning this one, my apologies. When I won the auction I harassed Cdnn into a letter of provenance given they claimed “NIB, 2 digit & it sat in the ruger vaults”. Link to letter says “received on September 5,1997 from Sile Distributors...

    Early ruger security six info

    Thank you for the help, should have questioned why Cdnn never showed pictures of the box and just the gun. As a two digit It was going into someone’s collection, glad it is in my safe queen stash. Think I will go to 2,000 on replacement value, I can not recall seeing very many nib security six...
