Re: Did they make - M77V's in these configurations?

Short action flat bolts are known into the early 71- prefix. There are a few in .250 Savage. I think the rarest long action flatbolt would probably be in .338. Ruger must have done a cleanup of long action flat bolt components right when they were doing a batch of .338's. The Long action flatbolt RS...

Re: three screw .44 low serial number

But if it is a Super Blackhawk it would have been made in late 1962 or early 1963.

Re: Red Eagle Type VI ?

Keep in mind that the serial numbers published in references are for those guns that have been seen or reported, so obviously the serial number ranges can be expanded if somebody finds an update. Looks like you now have the highest known Type 7 red eagle. 10850 is the earliest known Red Eagle with 1...

Re: Which next?

Re: Heritage Auction Maximum

Yes, maybe not clear enough in what I meant. He did amazing gun handling and as I understand it a number of times was filmed doing just that but never showing his face as he was standing in for the actor supposedly doing the gun handling.

Re: Bearcats At Auction

I know Bonhams went a 2nd go around for the Russ Rumsey Bearcat collection a while back, but Bonhams made it impossible to see what things went for, ore even if they sold. The first time they went to auction most of them DID NOT sell. Not an ideal auction company to sell collectible Rugers in my opi...

Otherwise, a snail mail copy (or info via email) could work. ;) I actually use Libraoffice, so that should work. But i...
