Ruger Pistol Serial Numbers Lookup

  • Hi, kind of a newbie here. Got a question about the Single six (new model) that my dad gave me many years ago. Just for fun, I went to the Ruger Website and put in the serial number on the gun. Came back with ‘Could not find’ message. According to the number range, it was made in 1982.

The 'Grandpa' Type A was produced until around serial number 2400. Production of the Type A Nambu ceased as of 1923, as the Type 14 was both cheaper, and more effective. The Nambu Type A somewhat resembles the Luger pistol in appearance, but this is superficial.

It is pretty well-known that the Ruger site references have a few 'discrepancies'.
Best to double-check against Dougan's book and the RENE Reference.

These are not online references.
John Dougan’s book RUGER PISTOLS & REVOLVERS, THE VINTAGE YEARS 1949-1973 is a great reference work, published in 2008. Inside the front cover is a number to call to order copies 1-800-999-4697.
Mentioned above viewtopic.php?t=30544 The Red Eagle News Exchange is published several times a year. Also available is a two-volume Reference of Ruger Firearms giving extensive production numbers and serial number information . . . available via Chad Hiddleson, 1945 Clover Ave., Perry, Iowa, 50220. He posts here as chet15.
