KNR-717HX find in Tulsa

[twriggen]

For anyone that has never attended the Wanamaker show in Tulsa all I can say is bring comfortable shoes. It will take more than a full day to see everything even if you try to rush through it. On the afternoon of the second day, as my eyes and brain were numbing to the number of firearms I had looked at, I stumbled across this rarity on a table intermixed with a bunch of other firearms. The gentleman knew what he had so there was no major deal to be made but it was pretty easy to talk "The Banker", sometimes also referred to as "The Engineer", into letting me spend the funds. My understanding is less that 250 were made. Can anyone confirm that number?

Here is mine. Serial number is very close. And this is actually a factory "U" used gun. You can see the U stamped just before serial number.

I'm going to have to work on my photos. That is an awesome photo of an awesome gun.

Thank-you. I have a bunch of photos from years ago when I did the Ruger/memorabilia calendars. Sad part is the photos aren't as clear taking pictures off my computer screen.

I think there were a few more than 250 of those, but not sure on a quantity at this time.
That is one of my bucket list items, to research that one to get an actual quantity.
