#98 ROA

[eveled]

This may interest someone. Was 98 a subscription gun?

Complete package unfired.

Dern,, a 2-digit 1972 OA.

And yes,, it should have been a subscription gun.

Was hoping someone was looking for more 98 guns. Or knew who had that subscription number.

That number probably was assigned at that time. Not sure who it was though.

Just joined this forum but have been reading it for years. It's run well with low tolerance for nonsense, I don't either. I thought I would share a recent pawnshop pickup. It's a Old Army, serial number 140-00098. 98th. manufactured, 1st. year production. It came with the serial numbered box, a little ragged, paperwork and the Ruger nipple wrench in it's envelope. I'm pretty pleased with this one.
