The ROCS fall 2016 Digest Magazine is being dedicated to honor the 60th birthday on the Ruger .44 Magnum "Flattop". It has been estimated that 790 .44 Magnum Blackhawks were shipped in 1956. We would like to try to get a good estimate and list of the guns shipped in November 1956, the 1st month of production.

Please post the serial number of your .44 Flattop that has a November 1956 ship date that has been validated by a Ruger Factory letter, email or phone call. Please do not guess, post only validated serial numbers, we want to get an accurate estimate as possible.

Thanks in advance for your participation in this effort.

179
213
219
279
301
712
723
911
