Question for Collectors: How can you have 5 of the same?
There are (5) #1 of 300 Custom Rugers on Gun Broker.
Am I missing something or is this some type of scam

#1 is the model as in: Ruger #1, which is a single shot rifle. Ruger also made a #3, a carbine size single shot rifle. In this case it was a special run that there were only 300 of this particular Ruger #1 made. He happens to have 5 of the 300 made.

He probably only took one picture and posted it in all the auctions. He may also be trying to rip people off. You could ask him.
Some people just plain suck.
If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

Re: Question for Collectors: How can you have 5 of the same?
The serial numbers are different, at least on the ones I can see.
Looks like its a dumbass marketing thing. Let's make them all 1 of 300. I'd rather have the "1st of 300" than "1 of 300" and judging by the way these were done I don't know how that could be tracked other thank from the factory. Unless all the serial numbers are sequential but who knows.
