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.....

#21 belonged to Robert Chatfield Taylor, 20 was Jack O'conner.....

look in the bottom corners, there may be a manufacturing code that includes the year, maybe even month/year. like 1385 could be 1985, 13, the week oy the year, 9213 1992, i think ya get my drift...

neat! Serial number doesn't come up on Ruger search......

Thank you!
