The right side of the receiver bears the factory warning and manufacturer address: BEFORE USING GUN — READ WARNINGS IN / INSTRUCTION MANUAL AVAILABLE FREE FROM / STURM, RUGER & CO., INC. / SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A. along with the Ruger logo. The left side of the receiver is marked with serial number 184-73843. Based on published Ruger serial number references, this prefix indicates production in the 184-series era. The rifle is equipped with adjustable aperture rear sights and a winged blade front sight, and the stock is fitted with two sling swivels.

Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The metal surfaces retain a fair amount of the original blued finish with visible thinning on the barrel, bolt carrier, and receiver edges. Minor surface oxidation and freckling are present, most notably around the rear sight assembly and the muzzle brake. The wood stock shows scattered scratches, dings, and handling marks consistent with use, particularly on the buttstock area, but remains structurally sound. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. Mechanical function has not been independently verified.
