Re: French proofed rst4 and rst6

For what its worth, the importer/distrubtor for Ruger in France is https://www.humbert.com/fr/, part of Beretta Holdings.

Not sure how long they've been importing Rugers but they've been around since ~1930 so it's possible they brought your guns in.

Re: Bill Ruger's Buntline .44 Magnum

Very cool!

I'm guessing it's a tad muzzle heavy...

Re: Amber Single Six

Great to see the actual gun is still alive and well! I have the '54 issue of Gun Digest. I thought it would be fun to have a GD from my birth year, but all it does is make me realize what I should have been spending my diaper money on.

Sigh...

Re: Tacklebox find

I wonder how many times it was used as a fishing weight?

Re: Ruger Mini 14 Stainless Oklahoma State Police

Have you tried contacting OSP? They may have an armorer who either knows or can access disposition records.

Re: RCA JOURNAL

I just joined 2 or 3 weeks ago. Not sure if I should expect to see this issue or not.

Re: Ruger Korean War Era Pistols with Tapered Bolt Ears

According to a drawing on page 33 of Hiddleson's Encyclopedia of Ruger Semi-Automatic Rimfire Pistols 1949-1992 "each variety appears at random on all of the .22 pistol models offered at this time."
So it doesn't appear that one was a more prevalent than the other.

And now I give you the $2,400 Bearcat

About three weeks ago I posted a link to a 3-digit Bearcat that went for over $2,300, and now here's a 2-digit Bearcat (84) that went for $2,420 including premium. Looks like low SN Bearcats are generating some serious interest. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/149798522_two-digit-ruger-bearcat-...
