Need help; Age of old Bearcat?
« on: December 27, 2006, 04:45:48 AM »
I have an old Bearcat that I'm thinking of selling and I'd like to know were I can go to find out what year it was manufactured.  Serial number is 371XX.  This one has the original STEEL ejector rod housing.  I know that they only did that for two or three years in the early production.  Any help out there?  The aluminum frame on my gun is in very nice condition, not nicked or scratched although the gun has been used regularly all of it's life and has some honest blueing wear on the steel parts.  Any help is appreciated.  44 Man  I also have the original grips.

I'm no Ruger expert but I bought my first Bearcat in 1969, all aluminum frame. Cost me a whopping $39.95. I shot it 'till it just plain wore out and then sold it for three times what I paid for it. What a great little gun.
