I am just trying to find out a little more info on it as I cant find this serial listed on rugers website. Some guns that clearly looked to be in one year were actually in a. Curiously enough, after dating all of my Rugers with Ruger customer service directly, I found that the Ruger serial number chart on their website is not always accurate. It came with the 22 mag cylinder that is marked with last 3 of serial with what appears to be an electric pen. If you call Ruger customer service theyll give you month of manufacture.

Welcome to the forum, good info above and yes its a very nice early 'flategate) RSS5,, the name meaning the loading gate on your gun ( the early guns ) was made ' flat' so as to not be confused with a Colt ( that has always been MY take on the reason 'why') but soon to be found that was hard on the fingernails to open it to load and unload.a company called Premiere, made a replacement, rounded, loading, a bit longer that what was to be the 'standard or norm' so Ruger did their own and was used from then on, sometime in 1957.nice gun, and the hard rubber (plastic) grips on your gun have turned to a shade from brown due to sunlight ( ultraviolet rays) or maybe even just getting 'dry'.wipe them down with a good oil or grease and the may darken up.many folks 'like' this brown shade.another thing to keep n mind is being your gun is a very early one, the bore diameter is on the smaller ( tighter) side.
