Re: Lipsey’s # 1- AH light sporter 6.5 Creedmoor

That one is still listed on Ruger's website.
As far as I know they are still making them in limited quantity.

Re: 20 & 21 Flat Gates

#21 belonged to Robert Chatfield Taylor, 20 was Jack O'conner..... Yes, Taylor had that number later. But writer Lucian Cary got that Single-Six originally. Lucian's name is on quite a few of the smaller size gun pulps that could be purchased around that time. I remember that Matt Olivier found the...

Re: Tri color no. 98

Some names involved with #98 Randy Smith a Kansas Ruger dealer/collector and the other one are just initials "KM" who was a Ruger employee..... I don't believe subscriber numbers that high had been assigned by the time that lightweight was shipped. In fact, I will bet the #98 Lightweight ...

Re: Serial number 39 subscription holder?

However... There was somebody there at American Wholesale Hardware who is known to have received a subscription number. I'm not sure who the name was. Unfortunately, it was not uncommon for an early numbered gun to have been shipped to somebody other than who the "subscriber" was.

If I had an answer it would be in that article. But I need to think of what issue that was in from the last 41 years. There were also two differen...

Re: RMEF Millennial

Yes, as mentioned you definitely need the serial number and then punch that into Ruger's serial number lookup page to see if it comes up as a different model number than Ruger's normal base model for that configuration. Chances are, RMEF had up to 40 guns customized for their own purposes, but one n...

Re: New Model 357 Cylinder Frame Color??

Oh yes, every once in a while one shows up.
In fact, loading gates have a history of being purple, no matter the age.
