The above chart shows the
approximate first serial number shipped for the indicated year. This
number should be used as a point of reference only. It is not necessarily
the very first serial number shipped, but it can be used to determine the
approximate year your Ruger firearm was shipped.
Ruger does not produce firearms in
serial number order. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers
have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Also,
within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce
a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers.
And in some cases, models may be stored for a length of time before they
are shipped.
For exact information on your
specific serial number, you can contact Ruger's Records Department either
by telephone or mail.
