I have read that wiki listing before, but, it is wrong. Ruger DID produce 16,314 completed guns and/or serialized frames. When all the hoopla started about the top strap cutting and forcing cone erosion, Ruger ceased shipments. They did "scrap" over 5000 completed guns and/or serialized frames. 7700 may have been a misprint of some info as it has been stated in the past that that is how many of one barrel length were made. Coogs.
