I purchased this Ruger Remington 44 Magnum Carbine with a Manlicker stock from a gun dealer in 1993. Purchase price was $365.00. It came as in the pictures with the Lyman goast Ring adjustable rear site. I think it I added the strap later. I love the goast ring for this kind of gun.
The dealer told me at the time that it was a collectible and probably a good investment. I have seen several at gun shows since, always for more money but none were in as good a condition as mine.
I have fired this gun approx. 150 times according to my relaoding records and the ammo I have left for it. Stock looks better that the pictures show, blueing on the barrell and mechanism is in excellect condition. The mechanism and rifling show no wear. There is a little blueing loss on the piece at the end of the barrell that connects the wood.
Serial # Is 122xxx. I contacted Ruger at the time of purchase and they informed me that the gun left the factory August 1967. If someone could verify this I would appreciate it.
What is an estimated value today?
How many of these guns were manufacturered with the Manlicker stock? Which years?
I would also appreciate any opinions as to weather this gun will appreciate in value over the next few years.
Thanks in Advance!
