some that got away

I know we all have Ruger regrets & I was thinking of the ones that slipped through one way or another. One was a well worn Type 1 Red Eagle with a 4 digit serial number 022x... The bluing was gone for the most part & the diamonds on the grips were worn smooth. It had the square chamber but I...

That is a beauty! Isn't there a wheel of 8 RST6's that are chrome plated somewhere? I have seen pictures of it in a few different books

Re: One Millionth Auto

That is a beauty! I have an article from 1980 showing it in one of my old books. The engraving is fantastic to say the least

"Autoitis" & the Six Series

Many years ago Police Departments went crazy for semi automatic sidearms and dumped their revolvers by the thousands. My work partner at the time & I decided to buy a couple of the recently scorned revolvers as the prices were very reasonable. I like fixed sights so picked up a 152 series Police...

Re: I got two Digests

I got 2 of the Spring 2015 Digests when I joined because I ordered the 2014 & 2015 as extras as well as a ROCS brassard. I aint complaining! I will pass it on to another to see if he wishes to join the group. The story on the stainless .22 pistol history was interesting. After I got my 1st Ruger...

Re: 10/22 with wood stock and stainless barrel.

I have one of the Walmart special 10/22's & it's marked RIFLE. It's a fine rifle & has dispatched more than one rabid raccoon during broad daylight. I think I paid $188 for it new.

Re: New Ruger Book

Don count me in for a copy of that book! I remember your 0194 Red Eagle when I was a kid as the original owner was a friend of my grandpa's. I just joined this forum & am glad to be among other Ruger people.
