Hello Guys, The two announcements were forwarded this to me last week, maybe this will clarify things. We will have to wait and see where this newly formed alliance goes. Ruger announced a major change to several of its longtime product lines this week, stating that it would immediately suspend prod...

Hello Guys, Sometime in the 1980s the cases were provided to Ruger by Sile Dist. in NY. The cloth was made in Britain and the cases were made in Italy. Tom Ruger ordered them, and later after they were made Bill Ruger found out about them and got angry and had the order canceled. Sile asked what wer...

Hello Guys, A clarification; I did not write the bit article for the RCA JOURNAL, Jim Hoobler wrote the article and provided photos. All I did as the Editor was the layout of photos and narrative. Vol. 36 no. 3 JOURNAL includes the bit article and is at the printer and will be delivered to RCA short...

Hello Guys,

Hello Guys, I realized after I submitted my post that I was mixed up! I always have 3-4 JOURNLS under construction and sometimes they run together in my mind, I like to use the excuse that I am 81 years old, sniffed too much Hoppes No. 9, and am confused, it works most of the time. None-the-less, my...

Hello Guys,

The next RCA JOURNAL; as I write this, Vol. 36, No. 2 is being sorted and made ready to go to the post office, early next week. This issue contains the NRA/RCA show report and a very detailed story of the flat-gate Single-Six with lots of pictures.
