Transition 357 flattop with XR3-RED frame

[twriggen]

Do you have one you want to get rid of or know someone that does? Please let me know. I'm working on my 357-flattop display and have tracked down all of the 6 and 8 groove variations and only short a transition piece. I have a few extra 10" in both the 44 and 357 flattops that I would be willing to let go of if a trade was required.

Edited to add - The transition models with the last of the flat top 357 that had to ship with XR3-RED grip frames as they ran out of original XR3 frames before they ran out of frames. They are rarely seen prior to serial number 42400 so there were less than 300 produced.

Thanks,

I've only seen one example, hope you can snag one

Why only look for one hen's tooth when you can look for multiple. I figure if I ask for enough hard to find items, I might get lucky and find one of them.

What serial number range would the one you're looking for be in? Thanks.

They tend to be after serial number 42400 and will have a final inspection date after august of 1962. They came in both 4 5/8 and 6 1/2"

Thanks for the reply. Mine is 31230 so that won't help you, and it doesn't show up when I searched serial numbers on the Ruger site.
Good luck
