Awesome 357 built like a tank
It was…well…several decades ago I was working at a gun range. Seems we had a GP100 on the rental line. Looking at it after a cleaning, my co-worker and I realized the barrel was virtually a smooth bore. There was this one sliver of rifling, about 2 inches long towards the end of the muzzle…otherwise, there was no rifling left.

We were kinda puzzled about that. It was one of our most popular rental handguns - it had to have been back to Ruger for a service, right?

Uhh, no. There was only one entry in the gun-log: date of original receipt. We were stumped.

We ran the math, over the course of 25 years in active service that math said that particular 6” GP100 consumed somewhere north of 1.25 MILLION rounds. Other than being cleaned by us range hands…it had never been back to Ruger. Not once. (*for the Record, we sent it back to Ruger. They replaced everything on that gun except the frame. No Charge. I’m still astonished at that.)

My first revolver is a 1989 (*New) edition stainless 6” Ruger GP100. It still has a place in my safe and gets dusted off at least annually.

IMO, the GP100 is one of the most durable and well built revolvers ever made. Mine still has another Mill or so rounds before I’d consider replacing it.

Such a great revolver! GLWS!
 
If it was made prior to 1976 it would qualify for purchase under an 03 FFL- but I suspect it is newer than that and the current regime in WA State has done everything possible to eliminate normal transactions.
 
Thanks for great post I have no clue on date of manufacture it just a model I have 2 in
I also have the 2-4 “ models
Thanks

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!
