Ruger Redhawk dom?

D@D

Can someone tell me the year of manufacture for my new (to me) revolver was made? Serial # 502-72xxx

1990/91

Thanks. Has anything changed in the design? I guess what I'm looking for is when did the lawyers input go into account?

Internally they have not changed but if you are talking about the warning banners on the barrel thats been there a while--some of the newer Ruger guns they have moved the location to under the barrel/made 'em smaller. All those warnings were intentionally added by Ruger(forced to) because of * who didn't know proper gun safety and had accidents--mainly from the old pre transfer bar safety Blackhawks and sued Ruger. BTW you can find the dates of manufacture for any Ruger right on Rugers website. http://ruger.com/service/productHistory.html#
