Can someone tell me approximately what year the New Model Vaquero was introduced by Ruger? I'm waiting for delivery of a, "new in box" 7.5" blue/case colored "new model" in .45 Colt which was advertised as, "model discontinued". Do you know approximately when this model was discontinued and why? Will the gun have a date of manufacture somewhere or can I find out from Ruger via the serial number?
Thanks,
