Re: Heres a real oddball.

There are a lot of guns out there without a serial number.

Re: Rarly Ruger Auto with Salt Cod box

I just picked this one up and trying to find out what the experts think. As you can see on the envelope the original owner had apparently inquired on the ETA and got the response above.
