Sturm, Ruger & Co. was founded in 1949 by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm in Southport, Connecticut. The largest publicly-traded U.S. firearms maker by unit volume, Ruger covers nearly every category — single-action and double-action revolvers, rimfire and centerfire bolt-action rifles, the 10/22 rimfire (the most-produced .22 rifle ever), AR-15 platforms, semi-auto pistols, and the Mark series target pistols. The 10/22, Mini-14, GP100, Single-Six, Single Action Army-style Vaquero, and Mark IV are perennial sellers.

Ruger Value FAQ

What is the difference between Old Model and New Model Ruger single-actions?

Pre-1973 'Old Model' Ruger single-actions (Single-Six, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk) lack the transfer-bar safety and require carrying with an empty chamber under the hammer. New Model variants from 1973 onward added the safety. Old Models in original condition with original parts are collected; conversion (the factory free-conversion program added a 'NEW MODEL' marking) does not increase collector value.

How do I value a 10/22 with aftermarket parts?

Aftermarket stocks, barrels, and triggers reduce the resale value of a 10/22 — the market wants original-config rifles. If you have the original take-off parts, restoring before sale recovers most of the loss. Custom Shop 10/22s are the exception and command a premium.

Are Mini-14 production years important to value?

Yes. Pre-2005 Mini-14s have looser barrels and less accuracy reputation; the 2005 'Series 580' redesign with a tapered barrel improved accuracy and is preferred. Pre-ban Mini-14 GBs (with bayonet lug and flash hider) command significant premiums.

Why are Bisley Lipsey's exclusives priced so high?

Lipsey's commissions limited runs in unusual chamberings (.480 Ruger, .454 Casull, .44 Special) on the Bisley grip frame that aren't part of standard catalog production. They sell out quickly at retail and consistently appreciate on the secondary market.
