I've seen the production numbers on the 50th Super but, darn it, I did NOT write them down. 2500?? I just can't recall......

I'm sure someone will pop in with your answer.

MK-450's? Over 50,000 produced.

As far as the 50th Super,Ruger called me last year after trying to get 50th Super 4628 to match my avatar. The nice man stated only 2500 were being made,But I did get #SB-00153.Low#for me ,,,As far as the Mk-450s,Get on gunbroker,Plenty for sale.

thanks fellas , i guess i better grab the super first , sounds like that will be a challenge to find a few years from now. i have found both new in the boxes real close to where i live. maybe he will hold the Mk ll for me until later, again thanks for the info.

According to the most recent RENE, the highest serial number reported is SB-01574. Chet seems to think that production has stopped so less than 2500 would make sense.

My source @ Ruger told me they were going to try & make 2000 each S-47N-50 by the end of the year but, he felt it would be less. This was in November. FWIW
