That's rare!

Now consider those especially with all matching numbers which have survived all this time ( not the mock ups and re-arsenaled parts guns) that makes this item even rarer yet.


Wow. One of 200,000! Rare. But still an ugly rifle. To each his own.

Your're the one that said they weren't rare. Harry, you don't have to attempt to save face with comments like the one you just made to my response.

I don't know anything about collectable guns or rifles but 200,000 made
doesn't sound particularly rare to me. Need to ask Rick Harrison on
Pawn Stars. :-)

Heck, in 1960 only 2,846 Edsels were made and the total made for all
years ('58, '59 and '60) is far less than 200,000. They aren't really
"collectable" either.

1 of 1000 or 1 of 5000, maybe. I have a pair of unfired hand engraved
revolvers with consecutive serial numbers that are collectible because of
the engravings, unfired condition, and serial numbers. Otherwise, they're
not rare. But they are worth a lot more than I paid for them.

Well, if its yours, it must have factory dimples.

My Ruger III most certainly does. You probably got yours in the

120,000 out of 17,000,000

The only thing that makes any item 'collectible' is relative to people that for what ever reason want to collect them.

"Need to ask Rick Harrison on Pawn Stars. :-)"

Rick wouldn't know. He'd have to call up an expert buddy of his who just 'happened to be in town'

It may have, but it isn't likely Ruger did the dimpling, nor is it
likely Ruger dimpled the large number of Mark III's you claimed. And why
would the dimpling be necessary, since you can buy any number of muzzle
brakes that fit over the muzzle of the barrel and attach with a screw
where the front sight goes, such as the one on the photo you attached?
And some of the brakes are available with a drilled and tapped hole to
relocate the front sight.

Further, Ruger and its distributors have offer Mark III's with threaded
barrels for some years.

He bragged about his 'local price' but won't give the dealer's name. Wonder why that is? Hmmm?

can play Dick Tracy instead of Sheriff John. Or maybe it's just the

Poor Harry needs all the help he can get, eh?

Someone told me recently that there where a couple things I could do regarding posts I didn't like.
One was not to read them. Can't remember the other, and too lazy to look it up.

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to help?

Tim, I could not give a **** less what Krause and Eriksson think of this rifle. I'm happy with the
purchase, and I'll have a lot of fun shooting it. I'm sure a grandkid will have fun with it also. It
won't end up being a 'closet queen', and I don't give a rat's ass about it appreciating in value.

'Appreciation' is why go made mutual funds and gold.
