Ruger serial numbers single six11/19/2022 ![]() In the ruger book it states basically rumors of checkered wood grips being made but none ever surfaced. He came back about 30 minutes later and said give me your money. He said no, I made it crystal clear I was not buying gun, nicely of course. I said if you let me see back of them and they correct looking to me, I’ll give you X for them. I told him I wanted the grips, he said no, not splitting them. I looked at grips and they were old style CHECKERED wood. Basically it had been shot but wear came from probably being holstered a couple times. Used some but very well taken care of, grips were mint. Little muzzle wear, some ever so slight high edge wear, shot a good bit but still very nice, not 550-600 to me tho. I was at a show and a guy came in with an older 357 Blackhawk about 96-98% condition, no box. I’m FAR FROM a ruger expert or an expert on anything lol. ![]() ![]() I need to post a pic sometime of a set of ruger grips I bought a few years back. Probably a lot of unfinished frames lying around. And this time frame was the transition from regular production to the CS. Odd but I know why (I think), they were “special orders” I’m almost positive. I just see that as a monumental task to have ever done but maybe they did.?Įxample with colt I have a python in which a SN# 2 digits later was shipped a year later, a couple within 10 digits later were shipped TWO years LATER lol. However IF anyone actually logged every single SN# into a data base for customers, it WOULD be Ruger lol. I actually didn’t letter the last because I felt like I was taking advantage of them. I actually felt bad because I looked and postage was like 2 bucks. ![]() ![]() I recommend everyone lettering their rugers now because there will be a day when they are 50 (with better letter format of course). So to be 100% sure a 10 dollar letter is probably only way to be for sure. I think these were just lumped together with estimates ranges shipped each year. It probably IS correct on the vast majority of guns. ![]()
