Tried my fav distributor. NO GO as all allocated...contacted six FFL's and one came through.....Now I am advised that "Some more seem to be shipping into some FFL's"

This is not impressive at all.............Sorry for your situation.I call what your experienced "Smoke and mirrors"..............

Thanks! I could easily fall into my bad habit of getting(SEEKING) another so I would have a backup! Based upon my personal perspectives, I think this is one of Ruger's greatest builds. And there are only 750 of them............... That said, consider that I also dearly love RSSE's, 256...

My communications and early discussion note that Carl had an RSSE.(not the one noted) After some other "stops" I believe it now resides with one of our members........... Don't know if he wishes to be identified.............

Yours is one of the second group of 150 non engraved(obviously) that followed the first group of 100 engraved RSSE that Mr Tyler offered at $2500 each,,,,,,,,. the value noted seems realistic. To clarify, this model gun was a special buid for Mr Tyler and the build schedule reportedly had to...
