The 1978 serial number is correct. The numbers for that year were 14-69121 - 15-36232. Any prior to 1969 did not have a prefix in the serial number. I see contender and I were answering at the same time.

Was at a local gun/pawn shop yesterday and saw a NM 41 mag Bisley (blued) for $950.00. Is that a good price?

And adding a gazillion 'restrictions ' as to where carry is not permitted.

Be advised there IS such a round as a 45 Mag. https://americangunfacts.com/45-win-mag/

Mine are Volks. Like I said it took a lot of 'back and forth' adjustments to get them just right.

I installed the adjustable triggers on both my MK IIIs (MK II 1/2"). Took a while to get them to function correctly, adjust one adjustment and it affects the other.

So you plan to shoot holes in your cedar siding to eliminate a bee. Great thinking! Each year two seem to appear on my front porch, buzzing around and antagonizing the wife. I just ignore them. Been here now 43 years and have never seen more than two, but it is two yearly. Also see solitary...

My letter for my Single Six revolver says: "...is designated as model RSSMW and is chambered in .22 WMR." The "W" indicates a walnut grip.

No matter where it was built the instruction manual says :https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/wrangler.pdf "For Service on This Model Please Call: (336) 949-5200" That, 336, is a North Carolina area code

I haven't shot it yet but to help me rack my LCP II I removed the smaller recoil spring. Much easier to rack . Now if it will function 'under fire' I have solved one problem

Looks like a 'blemish' on the left side kinda under the hammer.

If you are truly interested in the 'history' of various Rugers then subscribe to RENE (Red Eagle News Exchange). Many time the information there is actually more accurate than the Ruger web site.

Agreed wholeheartedly. You can call them whatever you wish but to me they are plywood. Also, try to find a good replacement rifle stock in walnut today. Composite, laminated or whatever. I remember years ago buying a Fajen claro walnut stock for my 1891 Mauser rifle. Beautiful when finished.

Not too bad a video but he could have cut about ten minutes off it by doing away with all the "um"s

You won't be sorry. I have a non-prefix serial number model with both cylinders and, with the mag cylinder, it shoots like a rifle; accurate and way out there.
