Ruger did me right.Read Display Show Guidelines Here! RUGER OWNERS & COLLECTORS SOCIETY, INCīill displayed his favorite. I ordered a bag full of spares for mine - it's my favorite quail gun. I would do it quickly since Ruger is out of the shotgun business (at least for now). I can live with that on a gun that sells for upwards of $2k if you can even find one. Ruger replaced several internal parts and included a list, cleaned the gun up and polished it more than I can and charged me nothing. Send via UPS, USPS, or FedEx.ġ9 days after I sent the gun, I got it back in a brand new box with a brand new owner's manual. Insure for the replacement value and pack well. Called customer service, discussed the problem, got an authorization to send the gun to them (at my expense). Started having failure to fire problems with the bottom barrel - likely a firing pin problem.

I have a 13 year old 28 gauge Red Label that I bought used. Have the serial number handy when you talk to them.

That said, contact Ruger customer service.

If it's one of the re-introduced Red Labels, it's iffy. If it's an older Red Label, it's a good gun.
