Ruger Ranch Gun -Weird Ser #?

shooter10

Today I saw a Ruger Ranch Gun with serial number 185-00001. Is this just a regular start of a new set of numbers or could this be something special?

Be cool if it were 1/10,000 [:D]. And shot just as well.

Progressive serial numbers have to start somewhere [;)]

Usually don't start with #1 unless a special presentation or special order to prevent overcharging/collector frenzy.

Is the gun for sale?

Edit 7-16-13:

rsnyder55, why do you ask if I am interested? (I would not have asked were I not interested.)

Why not ask Ruger?

added They can tell you the date of production and features but can't tell you if it's the first one produced in the 185 series; seems odd.

I did but they can only tell you date of production, March 1986, and features. Nothing else.

again are you sure it is a "ranch" model. If so why do you believe that? BTW it is probably not a ranch but a standard mini 14. Does it have a receiver cut for rings and were ruger rings on the gun
