Re: ATF weird SN Single Six???

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.......

Re: Ruger counters mats

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...
