You used to be able to pick up the phone and Ruger would date your firearm with the serial number. Now you have to mail off a letter, etc. I believe they started making these in 1994, and then they stopped the boat paddle stocks at some point early 2000's?

Just know that they have been doing the hollow plastic stock for several years.

If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.
