On a trip to the US in 1957 Rex Applegate purchased components from Ruger, High Standard, Marlin, and Whitney to "find" their way to his Mexican arms company inside Mexico. These components were assembled into working guns and marketed in Mexico.

Wouldn't it be nice if Ruger sold rifle actions these days, would be great for custom builds, without having to discard the barrel.

It is the address; fairly typical of the way addresses in Mexico were/are written.
