Range Day!

[CharlesHarris]

This Ruger was built in June 1986 when I was QA Manager for the Newport, NH manufacturing facility. 161- or later serial number prefix on the Security Six, Speed Six, Service Six series were manufactured assembled and inspected under Mil-Q-9858A requirements. Revolver pictured was found on GunBroker. When I saw serial number prefix I advised him to buy it. Once gun was received and legally transferred, taking off the grips and inspecting the butt stampings I recognized the builder's mark, a US Customs and Border Patrol contract ID letter and my CH acceptance stamp. A bargain at $600 with Tyler issue grip filler as you see it. Bobbed hammer is factory. This run was built as Double-Action-Only (DAO), with the butter-smooth trigger pull MB mentions. Chambered in .357 but duty ammo of the period was the Olin Q4070 110-grain +P+ like the box pictured.
