Just saw a post on one of the gun blogs that said this person got his 437xxx range Single-Six lettered as an RSS5X, Ruger model 0212.
So Ruger has had their model number system probably since 1949 at least on an in-house basis. I think I saw an early RST4 lettered as Ruger model 0101 less than a year ago.
So it would be interesting if when somebody gets a letter on their Ruger, to post what Ruger model their gun comes back as, and maybe we can fill in all the blanks for model numbers for all the Old models, early DA's, or anything that came out of the factory prior to 1984 or so.
We can update this post when new model numbers are learned for those guns.
