Unrecorded Ruger serial number

[1mathom1]

Anybody have trouble looking up a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk serial number from the mid-80s?
The customer service forms and the s/n lookup forms say it does not exist. Does not appear to be an overstrike.
I can get an approximation of the mfg year by looking at ranges but no specific information.

You may have to call Ruger. Maybe they will have an idea.

Call Ruger

Yeah, I'll likely have to call.

I've got a message into them. I'll see where that leads before I call.

The plug-n-play thing works on newer guns, but lacking on older ones. AFTER you attempt a number, if you scroll down that page, there is a clickable link which will take you to a page where you can click on all the various model guns which will then give you the SN range by year. Make sure you click the correct model, as Single Six will not give you SNs for the Single Six Magnum, nor will Blackhawk for a Bisley Blackhawk, nor Super Blackhawk for Blackhawk, etc but you might think so because SNs overlapped....suchlike the Single Six listing will show a range for a year quite newer than will the .22 Magnum list for a magnum Single Six. This FYI as you might by now have already talked to someone...
