period correct ruger scope rings
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2017 6:39 pm
Here is some questions for you experts. As many of the older guns in my collection have come without scope rings, I am trying to get the period correct rings for them.
Lee has already stated "I'm of the opinion that vertical rings went out in about September of 1968." beyond this I would like to know:
1) The year that slotted screws were phased out?
2) Did Ruger ever have Allen head screws? If so what years?
3) Year that Torx head screws started?
4) I have also noticed that new rings have a height designation on them i.e. 4 or 5. What year did that start?
Hope you guru's can help..thanks
