In time any gun becomes a collectors piece.

I bought a bi centinial made in the 200th year of American liberty ruger police service six 357 #GF32 2 3/4” bbl in stainless for $145 in ‘76. It was never in the catalogue. I seen the same gf32 revolver a ‘77 recently with made in the 200th year of American liberty sell for $750 online. I’m not sure where the value on mine is but my point is we have no clue sometimes what will go up in value.

If rugers are collectable anything is.

As far as plastic gun stocks it took me many decades to accept them. Real wood surely looks good on any gun
