The GCA 1968 is the result of too many errors by makers in properly identifying their various models, in the case of Rugers for us here, they all had the same starting numbers, so you had them "sharing" the same numbers, SOOOO, if a "cop" says I have a Ruger 22 caliber, serial number 1234, which one is he talking about ? I know we ran into this quite often over the years,not all officers of the law are "gun savy", for many it is just a 'tool'.

Over the years I can say far too "cops" have little clue as to just what numbers on many guns are actually the serial numbers and what ones are manufacturing markings,ala "older guns", YES,on many today, this numbering of the serial is pretty obvious, cut and dry,cause there are not a lot of different numbers, and just because the military or the guns used by them "may" have matching numbers on various parts, it is still the "receiver" that is the gun, and in the case of a Ruger replacement, ala "pac lite",the lightweight upper, IS the receiver, the bottom is the grip frame, NO numbers.just another "part". Anyway, any foresight and background information would be much appreciated. I'm concerned that when I do buy the upper, chances are it will not have a SN on it, and it would possibly look kind of suspicious having a pistol with no SN on it whatsoever, especially since its not a 80 percent lower. The big reason I am asking this question is because I want to purchase a new aftermarket upper for for the MKII when I actually do purchase it. The one I looked at has the stamp 212-XXXX so I from what I understand the model produced from 1986. Is there a serial number on the lower receiver? If not, I thought it was required to have serial numbers on the lower unless it was a bolt action rifle? then again, I am relatively new to purchasing older model pistols, so maybe there was a loophole back then that I wasn't aware of. I am looking to purchase a ruger MK II, I notice that the serial number is only on top of the receiver from pictures.

Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later.
Ruger does not necessarily produce firearms in serial number order. It can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was
It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but This is a Ruger Firearms enthusiast's forum, but it is. I was about to list a Ruger MKII in the classifieds and tried to find out when it was made.On Rugers serial number search site there arent. Mark I, Mark II and Mark III Pistols are NOT affected. This number should be used as a point of reference These models bear serial numbers beginning with 401 (2017 models) or WBR (2016 models). The above chart shows the approximate first serial number shipped for (manufactured from 1982 to 2005) Caliber: 22 LR
