Do you guys think the 3 digit Ruger on RIA is with the original box? I don't think so.

Not the original box or original bolt.

I didn't catch the bolt but thought early boxes were just red. Thanks

Here is a picture of an early box. This is actually a type 2 box. The proper box for your pistol is just like this except one piece with a "hinged" lid, same graphics.

Seems cheap for the gun as shown. (early bolts and parts were replaced due to failures) The box is important, but incidental to the fact that this is the 166th gun that WBR built, the prototypes not withstanding. HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT IS THE CORRECT PHRASE HERE.....think about it.........

What does a box for that cost nowadays if you could find it? I have a #2xxx bought from d Findley many years ago and never found a box.
