Re: New here and to rugers
The only way to know for sure is if the factory could provide some kind of provenance for the rifle. The caliber stamp was definitely hand stamped, so not like a Ruger rollmarked caliber.

Re: Why no flat gate?
To Bill Ruger, it was very expensive to make the tools necessary to investment cast a loading gate, after going through the expense of that process with his Single-Six cylinder frame. Always looking for cost efficient means, he designed a gate that could be produced very efficiently from extruded st...
