Year of Manufacture

[oldsoldier77845]

How do I determine year of manufacture of my SP101? Does the serial number indicate?

A letter from Ruger. There are lists on the Ruger site. It's generally accurate enough but sometimes a frame got stuck at the bottom of the pile and not manufactured in numerical order,

Yes, a letter from Ruger. They're $10 and the form is on the Ruger web site.

Thank you. As an aside, I have been a member for years, but for some reason I was not able to log in under my previous name. I had to re-register. I am guessing it was an email problem, but repeated efforts failed. Most frustrating. I like this site a lot and am glad to get back in. I have sold most of my Rugers due to age and infirmities. Just unable to pass on the 101. That is one neat revolver.

This link works if you gun is new enough to have been in their computer. If it comes back unfound scroll down to the box and click on the SP-101 and it will take you to the old list of annual starting numbers.
