Can you tell me how old my Redhawk is?
« on: October 31, 2009, 08:17:20 PM »
I just picked up my Redhawk from the pawn shop.  It is flawless!  The ring that you normally see around the cylinder is only now visible because of my fooling-around with it so much.

This ole .44mag is destined for some serious pig-pounding!  Before Katrina, I had some fine expensive guns.  I've now had to settle for much less-expensive stuff.  But this old man has never been more fired-up over a gun as I've been over this Ruger!

I'm still putting together some reloading equipment since losing mine to hurricane Katrina and then again to thieves.  I hope to be reloading for this Redhawk soon. 

I would really like to know when it was made.  The serial number is 503-46657.

Looks like 2006 to me? and it was the last one for that year.

Congrats on the Redhawk bigoledude! I have had mine since 84.

Yep, It's 2006!  Good to know these things.  I'm sure it's gonna mean the world to the dead pig to know when the gun that just ended his rootin-tootin crop-wrecking life was manufactured!  But hey, I wanted to know.

Sorry for the mistake... I was somewhat distracted at the time!
