Mark 1 with type 1 red eagle grips
Ruger T678 Mark 1. Serial number 72xxx. This gun has tapered ear bolt that is correct for serial number range. The odd feature is it has type 1 red eagle grips. Seller said it was an employee gun and it was shipped from Connecticut to me. Would like to know the story behind this one.

WOW!!! That looks in pristine condition. You have a keeper there.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

Re: Mark 1 with type 1 red eagle grips
I agree with both of you. I bought this one just for the grips. Those grips are about as rare as hens teeth.arcticruger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 6:16 pmYes indeed… there’s just something about those red eagles and chrome escutcheonsT.A.

I'd like to think the Employee chose to put those early panels on the gun.......
