Ruger boxes time frames

Post by RoninPA »

Didn't know where to pose this so I put it here.
Is there a listing somewhere that shows the box color versus the time frame it was used?

I know for the Six series guns it started with the white box with the cut out for the gun and it was used from 1970 to 1974-75. Then they went to the Red/white, Red/black and finished with the Yellow/black.

IIRC, the GP100's started out with the Yellow/black and progressed to the gray plastic.

I do know there were some special colors interspersed throughout the years also.

Anyone have a comprehensive listing they would like to share.

Thanks for the help.

I saw this question on Rugerforum also. I'll probably be working on an article for boxes for a future issue of RENE and/or ROCS. It probably won't be in the August RENE though...not sure how much room I'll have with the annual RENE price guide scheduled for that issue.
