Watch the Hornady video, you will see they have all the different Ruger rifles and handguns and all the serial numbers are the same.

Yep, a while back I had a Lee Enfield rifle with the same serial number and year of manufacture as another bare action I had on hand. That action had been butchered, since destroyed but as the UK armouries reused their serial numbers as a 4-number and 1-letter code they went through them about 4 or 5 times over the course of each year in the peak of wartime production.
