48-144xxI'm no expert on the NM's by no means,, but I can say those are VERY good guns to have.
According to the RENE & a brief study,, you should have a RB-41W model. About 2000 made.
There is a bit of confusion to me, using the RENE Guide about the date of mfg, (2002, and the listed serial numbers in the RENE.
Could you share part of the serial number,, such as 48-123XX to help narrow down the info study?
Thanks for information!Ok, yes,,, 2002 mfg, and by that serial number,, it was part of the "clean-up" guns and should have a steel ERH.
NICE score!
ThanksAs I read Ruger's site, 2002 if it was 45, 2004 if 41.
RENE has it as '02 or '03 depending on what the last 2 digits actually are.
A $10 factory letter tell you for certain.
