FM,, I'm not sure what you are asking about here. Nothing has been mentioned about a special rear sight.
That'd be me unless I suspected some characteristic/history that would make it worth more. But then I bend down and pick up a penny off the ground. Most histories wouldn't cause the gun to be even worth $10 more IMO in most cases!Some people are just cheap
That pretty much sums up my opinion too. Although I see @contender 's point too.That'd be me unless I suspected some characteristic/history that would make it worth more.

Good point! I look at the roll engraving on the gun as a statement of Authenticity and the DOB is easily retrieved from Ruger's site. Now if Ruger clones were being made like Rolex watches that could make a difference to me.That pretty much sums up my opinion too. Although I see @contender 's point too.
Also if you have 50 Rugers, you could buy a new gun with that money.
I don't think that Ruger special builds for distributor's like Lipsey's have any special collector interest, but certain models that Ruger "should" have made are certainly desirable.
A letter from Ruger is pretty much meaningless for them and don't add a whit more interest or value to these guns, IMO that is but for ten buckazoids it couldn't hurt.
This was one you showed me at your place a couple years ago. No notch in the rear sight. We were talking about letters from Ruger and I was just wondering what the Ruger letter said concerning that particular revolver.FM,, I'm not sure what you are asking about here.

I just thought it was a Blackhawk, oops. I did remember you handing it to me an asking me if saw anything unusual. Then you told me to check the sight picture.Ahh,, now I know which gun you are asking about.
It wasn't a Blackhawk,, but a RST4 standard auto,, w/o a notch cut in the rear sight base. Nothing in the letter about it,, and when I spoke to Ruger,, they were kinda casual about it,, and offered to send me a replacement rear blade.
Yes, I did. But one phone call and a correct one was on the way.Has anyone else ever gotten a letter that was incorrect from Ruger?
