Ruger "Red Barn" Mk 11 series

Post by laxcoach » Mon Aug 13, 2012 11:08 am

Hello,
A neighbor bought the above and asked me to research it for him, as he is computer "challanged". It's NIB with all papers and authentication from Ruger---- s/n 211-014XX.
I can't locate the s/n on the Ruger site, nor can I find any history on the gun on the Ruger site or on the Collectors' forum.
Can anyone enlighten me on a brief history and approximate value?

I read Ruger's chart that it was made in 1984, the third year of production. As to the rest, I'll have to leave that to our more learned members.
* 2 Ruger Bearcat stainless, w/ EWK ejector housings & Wolff springs
* Ruger SP-101 .22LR, w/ Wolff springs
* 2 NAA Guardian .32ACP
* 3 Zastava M70 .32ACP
* S&W 15-22 Sport (.22LR AR)
* 2 Ruger SR22 .22LR pistols

Welcome to Guntalk-Online.com!

The best person to help provide you with information on the Red Barn Signature edition pistols is Chad Hiddleson from the Red Eagle News Exchange; You can email him at [email protected] . He is an avid collector of Ruger firearms and an author of “Encyclopedia of Ruger Semi-Automatic Rimfire Pistols - 1949-1992”. He keeps track of serial numbers for the various models and special editions of Ruger firearms.

The Red Barn pistols were a limited run made especially for the Ruger Collectors Association.
