Any one have one they want to part with? Could very well be a Max, or two (depending on what ya got) in a trade? Any letter suffix would work.....scope not required.....let me know, Thanks, Jack

Weeeeeellll. I found it! And yes, it is now mine, tell ya why. Serial number is 600-16306. Eight (8) numbers from the last one (600-16314) It also has the new "SRM" rollmark on the frame and finally it belonged to legendary shooter/lawman, Joe Bowman. Roll marked 6/19/84 shipped in 1984 6/...

Still on the hunt for this!

I have a 'Few" Maxi's that sat at the factory for 20+ years before they shipped.........wish I knew the exact answer also....have some speculation on some, but not all.......

Did anyone here happen to be the person that bought a 10 1/2 Max from the Joe Bowman collection about 10 days or so ago? If you did could you please drop me a PM, I'd like to talk to you about it, Thanks for looking, Jack

Cool!

1) gun was stolen, original number ground off, ATF issues new serial number. 2) gun could have been the proverbial "lunch box" special and someone finally wanted to make it legal. Those are my best guesses.......someone will think of some other possible scenario's.......

Neat stuff there!

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.....
