P PetahW New member Jan 20, 2014 #2 . An interesting gun, with an interesting provenance - except that, according to Ruger, that ROA (SN 140-17313) was made in 1973. http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RE-OABP.html .

K kwhi43 New member Jan 20, 2014 #4 That was in 1973. When your trying to remember over 40 years ago it gets a little fuzzy at times. Thanks.

R Rifleman1776 New member Jan 21, 2014 #6 Interesting gun, interesting story. I bought two ROAs at Friendship in 1971. They were around a long time. Sad production was stopped.
