Been into the Ruger Max since the mid 80's. Own a "few" Have also been recording serial numbers since then. Reason? To determine variation changes, ratio of barrel lengths, etc. Ruger produced 16,314 Maximums, a combination of completed guns and serialized frames. After the supposed flame cutting and forcing cone erosion, Ruger "scrapped" over 5000 Maximums, once again, completed guns and serialized frames. If you own a Max and are willing to share the number, even if it has been converted, drop me a PM. Below are some pics of the front sight height variation to the 7 1/2 Maximums. Please note which you have if you send me a number, high or low,thanks, Coogs.
