There are only two of these rifles left! This is the fifth of six consecutive serial-numbered "Green Beret" 10/22 Carbine rifles Ruger is auctioning off. The serial number of this rifle is 110-63737 and the rollmark date is May 31, 1973. The Green Beret is worn only by qualifying United States Army Special Forces soldiers. These soldiers played a significant role during the Vietnam conflict, and because these rifles were rollmarked in 1973, it is possible they were prototype samples of Vietnam-era commemorative rifles.

  <guid isPermaLink='false'>http://www.ruger.com/links/auction.html</guid>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[ 
The No. 1-V is the only variation of the No. 1 rifle made with the target blocks used for mounting a scope. The serial number, 6597, tells us this rifle was made in September 1970. The .243 Win. caliber was not listed in the Ruger price sheets or catalog for 1970. However, the Ruger No. 1-V in .243 Win. was listed in the catalog and price sheets beginning in 1975. This unusual configuration was probably an engineering test model.
