Wow! A "holy grail"! A couple of the "collectors' books" contain information.
I'll bow out since I'm a revolver collector.....

I agree with Flatgate about the holy grail of production Ruger 22 semi's. WOW!!!!!!
As for the books, I strongly suggest the following;
Chad Hiddleson; "Encyclopedia of Ruger 1949-1992."
Don Findley; "Bill Ruger's .22 Pistol."
Both will have excellent info that you seek!

When they gave me this one, it had the rear sight backwards...and an idiot tried to dissasembly.
In my country is too difficult to find a good gunsmith.
I know it is not in good shape as RPM ones, but thats the better I could got :?

Many of these were carried by Mexican Poice offlcers, "back when".How do you get it into the U.S. without getting it wet?....Back when, mine was part of a big shipment of imported guns, into Houston.......... :wink:

I remember seeing a Mexican police officer (I think just a metro patrol officer in a small city in Jalisco) carrying a Standard back in the 1960s. I assumed it was a "Ruger Ruger," but it might have been an "Armamex Ruger."
In some small cities officers supplied their own sidearms (just like here) and some chose .22s, I suspect because in those days the criminals mostly didn't carry firearms. Now that they do, the Mexican police artillery is a BIT heavier.... And in the '60s .22 shells were generally available; heavier calibers were not and were very expensive when you could find them. I traded a Colt "Frontier Scout" to a small town cop and got a very nice Bisley Colt .44 in return. We were both happy; I had a valuable Colt; he had a Colt he could afford to shoot.....

I gotta ask. What exactly is it?

The Ruger/Armamex .22 auto was produced in May 1957 as 250 sets of components (less barrel). The parts were shipped to Brownville, TX where they were then exported to Pachua, Mexico. Barrels were then made by Armamex, the guns assembled, rollmarked (in Mexico), inspected and then sold to the public.
Of the 250 produced, it is believed that the last 50 in the serial number sequence (R1001 to R1250) had 6" barrels.
In the early 1980's eight or nine made it back to the states through an importer at Alexandria, VA and examples have been floating back across the border since then. Most examples look like they have been used as fence post extentions.
Armamex also had Whitney, High Standard and at least S&W ship parts to them.
