It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but it can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was shipped. Ruger does not necessarily produce firearms in serial number order. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later.

Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. And in some cases, firearms may be stored for a length of time before they are shipped. For details on your specific serial number you may contact our Service Department: 336-949-5200 For serial numbers manufactured prior to our electronic records, or for an official letter confirming the details on your firearm please download and mail in the form.

Creek, Welcome to this forum! Just FYI, your gun is from 1980.

Old Model.30s have recessed chambers and case heads seat flush with the cylinder. The New Model.30 Carbine Ruger does not have recessed chambers and the.30 Carb Cartridge has a semi-rimmed case so if the rounds go in flush with the cylinder that's too far and below flush is way too far. The New Model cylinders will chamber and safely shoot 32-20 w/o modification because it's smaller in diameter than.30 C. But it's obviously a rimmed case so can not fall too deep into the chamber. And 32 H&R/327 Fed Mag are smaller yet.
