Ruger Alaskan .44 brand new production with no "Safety" warning or stamp roll marks??

[mini14gb]

Not that I mind it not being there but I found it strange that the gun didn't have a read the instruction manual warning. I suddenly feel less safe without that......lol. Anyone else run into this? I bought it new from a highly reputable dealer Feb 28th 2014 Made Oct 2013.

Bought used? Maybe previous owner polished it out?
Just saying....

NOPE I bought it new YESTERDAY Feb 28th 2014

Is there anything on the bottom of the lug? They moved some of them there I think.

In any case, I'm with you. MUCH better without the billboard on it!

 

[mini14gb]

Ohen Cepel, good call damn I never saw that. Yeah that is where its at. I have the .454 Alaskan too and its on the side of the barrel. Tricked myself.

Yes, new production Ruger revolvers have a new engraved font rollmark, and the stuff that used to be on the left side of the barrel is much reduced and moved to the bottom of the barrel (at leas that's what they've done on the new SP models. This started around late 2010, early 2011 I believe.

Mine is a 530-2xxxx and has the warning on the bottom of the barrel as well.

A friend of mine had an older .44 Mag. Vaquero rebarrelled by Ruger a few years back (the original one had been improperly installed and they no longer had any back stock to replace it with), and the new barrel had the warning info on the bottom of the barrel. Looked a whole lot better under there than the original billboard markings on the left side of the barrel.

That is the heaviest, most oversized, over powerful, most useless snub nose revolver I have EVER seen.

So....

Why do I want one ever time someone posts pictures of it???

BSA1, I had the .454 version and found it to be a very useful hiking companion here in Montana. Not useless at all IMO. Got tired of the .454 recoil and didnt want to start loading for .45 Colt.

 

[JellyJar]

That is the prettiest ugly revolver I have ever seen!

Looks really nice! Enjoy!

Ah, 'cause you're a dude! I could show you pics of that bikini model in the zero gravity airplane that trains the astronauts, and it would illicit the same response…..well, maybe not the exact same

That and the fact that Top end Hornady manual reloads for 240 gr. XTP's feel relaxing out of it.

This new .44 Mag SRH Alaskan from my favorite online dealer has the standard rollmark on the left side of the barrel. I have the .454 Casull version and love the little beast.

They moved the safety rollmark, but now you get GIANT ADVERTISING down the barrel. [sigh]

That's almost as bad as the gas pump I encountered yesterday, that had a built-in TV playing some kind of "news" and SHOUTING at me while I was pumping gas. I thought the ones that made me stand in the rain through silent ads and pushing the "decline" button for a car wash discount were annoying before, but they've sunk to a new low.
