| SELECTING THE CORRECT AJAX® GRIPS FOR YOUR S/A RUGER |
| 1. The Ruger "OLD MODEL XR3 GRIPFRAME" was used on the original "3 screw" guns manufactured from 1953 until June 1962 and it requires the Ajax Style #26 grips. 2. The Ruger "RED" (ALONG WITH VARIOUS OTHER LETTERS) GRIPFRAME" was used between late June 1962 - Dec. 2004 on the Blackhawk, Vaquero, Single Six, Old Army and the Super Blackhawk guns with 4 1/2 to 6 1/2" barrel lengths. (The Old Army continues to use this gripframe style.) These guns require the Ajax Style #31 grips. 3. The Ruger "NEW MODEL XR3 VAQUERO GRIPFRAME" started into production about January 2005. If your new model Vaquero with serial no. starting at 510..., or your new "50th Anniversary Blackhawk" with serial no. starting at 520..., came equipped with this gripframe which contains Ruger's "internal locking feature", it will require the Ajax Style #25 grips. 4. The latest Ruger "NEW MODEL BLACKHAWK" and "NEW MODEL SINGLE SIX" gripframe comes with black plastic grips, lockable grip frame and a Ruger model number ending in the letter "L". Started into production in September of 2007 and requires the Ajax Style #35 grips. 5. The Ruger "BISLEY AND BIRDSHEAD GRIPFRAMES" continue as they have in the past and require the Ajax style #33 grips for the Birdshead gripframes and the Ajax style #28 for the Bisley gripframes. 6. The Ruger "SUPER BLACKHAWK GRIPFRAME" for the 7 1/2" to 10" barrel lengths and the square back trigger guard continues to require the Ajax style #30 Grips. Other Super Blackhawk guns with the shorter barrels and round back trigger guard require the Ajax style #31 Grips as described in item #2 above. (One exception is the "Super Blackhawk Hunter" which although it has a round back trigger guard, it still requires the Ajax Style #30 Grips.) 7. The Ruger "BEARCAT GRIPFRAME" is for the ultra-small frame .22 Caliber Bearcat guns and continues as in the past requiring the Ajax Style #27 Grips. 8. The Ruger "SUPER SINGLE SIX" in .32 H&R Magnum is an oddball that has a unique grip frame and requires a unique grip style. Ajax does not currently produce a grip style for this model.
