I'm confused. The international version was 18" with
No suppressor. Now the Ruger website shows a KM77GS that
is 18" and the show it with a suppressor. So, would that
be 18" + a couple more inches for the suppressor?
When the Gunsite Scout was first introduced, the version intended for the American market had a 16" threaded barrel and a matte black finish. Ruger also built a version ment for export, that had a 18" non-threaded barrel and was made of stainless.
I'm guessing Ruger noticed the demand for the export version here in the states, so this year they introduced what is basically the export model just with the barrel threaded and a flash suppressor included. The flash suppressor adds a little length to the end up the gun, but only an inch or so.
