Ruger vaquero's production question

[Dee Mak Jack, SASS #55905]

I have a set of 357 vaquero's with 45/8 barrels.  How can I find out how many of this particular model were made.. Must be kinda rare as I have not seen many of them at shoots.  Thanks

357’s vaqueros are extremely common at sass matches. Might even be the most shot revolvers in the game. Unless yours were a special run or variation by some distributors they are readily available to purchase. 

Might be helpful if you mentioned whether original model or new. A couple pics would help. I’m sure with the first few digits of the serial numbers someone on this site could give you more info on build date and numbers produced.

Ruger Vaquero's and New Model Vaquero's with 4 5/8" barrels are probably the most used gun in Cowboy action.

The only limited production of old models Ruger documented to me was the stainless 4 5/8 Birdsheads was 2000 made in 2000

Just check the Ruger website for serial number listing the date of production, no production #'s though,  easy peasy.

The Vaqueros with 45/8 barrels have 5.625 inch barrels as I recall.   Slightly longer than the 5  and 1/2 inch barrels.
