Ruger Red Recoil Pads

[luckyday]

I have a few Ruger red recoil pads that are uninstalled. Does anyone know what era/year these came from? C-669, Goodyear marked, two say CPN#1 and one says CPN#6, blackbase. I have debated replacing some of the recoil pads on my non-red Rugers with them. If they are early enough to be important for restorations I may sell them so any idea of value would help.

Thanks guys.

I would say these are not too early, but they could be from anywhere between about 1975/6-1993.

I would make the case that you should keep the original pads on your later rifles and sell/trade these to someone who needs one for an original red-pad gun. Or just keep them in case you need them for a red pad gun at some point in the future.
If you don't like the black pads, you could always put aftermarket pads on them.

Thanks, I guess I'll go ahead and post in "Classifieds" and recoup some costs. Hopefully they'll make someone happy.
