I can't quite make out the serial number, would you please post it.

 

[98Redline]

Looks like 833 to me.

 

[westerville]

Yes, it is number 833.

 

[SteveRuger]

There were only 300 Long Frames Produced! Rare Gun!

 

[westerville]

Thanks, Steve.

I would consider a nice Hawkeye Box as part of a trade.

 

[pohorelsky]

I've never seen a 3-screw super with timing as bad as this one.

 

[Old Judge Creek]

So... I have a few questions, please.

How hard and fast is that 300 number?

I wonder how many are accounted for?

Did all come with that presentation case?

The one I have is a 4 digit number and came to me several years ago via the family of the original purchaser.

There was no box, just the revolver. I didn't know until a few years later that i had a Long Frame. I'd never heard of one before.

How hard and fast is that 300 number? The orginal casting batch was done in groups of 300.
I wonder how many are accounted for? As far as accounting for the total long frames I think most die hard collectors try to have 1 or 2, In Utah I know around 20% +/_ of the orginal production run resides.
Did all come with that presentation case? No # 9 was shipped in a White Box.

Are you saying you have knowledge of a fault with the timing of the gun or that you wish you could buy it if the calender time was different??

 

[Old Judge Creek]

Steve,
Thank you for your reply, sir.

 

[georgem]

What is long/short frame?
Thanks, Georgre M.

I seriously doubt that there is an issue with timing. Rather, the ring is related to how the gun is cocked/decocked and "screwed with" when it is not going to be fired......... :shock:

 

[rugerguy]

same here, I agree, looks like a good ,honest 3 digit no less, LONG frame no less, Super , in the mahogany case, no less..........wow, and they were fighting over a 3 digit 357 flatop ,up into the $3000 plus range...yikes, wish I had the spare bucks, I'd buy this one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,seen'em a LOT worse than this, and by a LONG stretch .................
that line wil appear quite easily with improper removal of the cylinder and mishandling the action,lockwork when "cycling" the action,short stroke it, never cock it all the back each and EVERY time, BINGO "line........."
I'll tell you what a very LITTLE bit of 'TLC' and this gun would look like a winner.............................can't tell one, eveything to do 8)

 

[ACRYLICTNK]

Excellent price in my humble opinion.....try and find another one that isn't residing in Utah!

If Myself & Ruger1441 were not coming off of purchasing a big group of guns & a call from the P. Farmer this thread would not exist. IMHO

What are the odds of EVER finding a pair of grips for it, for less than an arm & a leg?

 

[mr.deerstalker]

Thanks for the offer!

Wes, I received the revolver this morning. Condition to my eye is better than described. Nice gun, and mahogany case is in very nice condition! Thanks again for another great transaction!
