Re: American Rifleman Magazines

Our ROCS Forum is a great place to advertise the extra Ruger Ads. Ebay might work for other company Ads. Brass Frame/Lee

Re: American Rifleman Magazines

Try removing the staples and keeping the ads you wish to sell. That way the ads retain their month of publication. I bought a collection of the same magazines from 1947 to 1975 and inserted all the Ruger ads into plastic sheet protectors, keeping them in large 3 ring notebooks for future use in my d...

Re: Ivories with a Story

Bill, great that you are the current caretaker of this beautiful Flat Top. The story is very interesting and the gun is a very fitting candidate to wear the Ivories! Thank you for sharing. Brass Frame/Lee

Re: Banned from Ruger forum

Guys, this whole topic is getting too much traffic and sounds like that forum has little to offer Ruger Collectors? Brass Frame/Lee

Re: So Plum its Raspberry?

Read the books! John Dougan does a great job of describing the problem in some early Rugers. Troy is correct, some cylinder frames exhibit variations of plum color. I have a BKH30 with a complete copper colored cylinder frame and a collection of BKH3's that show the color. I also wrote an article in...

Re: MR-3DB Article in ROCS Digest and “A” marking in place of MR-3DB – Genuine Frame

Thank you Jim. Do you remember casting the Brass Frames for the New Model Rugers? Do you know the meaning of the capital A on some of these cast frames? Lee Sundermeier

Re: MR-3DB Article in ROCS Digest and “A” marking in place of MR-3DB – Genuine Frame

Look at the ROCS summer Report from 2023. This is a full pictorial publication of my "Class of Brass" display at the NRA Spring, 2023 gun show. I now own 5 New Model prototype Brass Grip Frames in different stages of production. Two brass frames contain the letter "A" as you disc...

Re: Seach function ROCS journals

First I would point out that ROCS publishes a DIGEST, the RCA publishes a JOURNAL. If you check the ROCS web page we have posted the first issue. I am the Editor of the Digest and struggle to receive enough articles from our members to publish our twice/year issues? I need a volunteer who is knowled...
