Joe will be surely missed by all Ruger fans of the No.1 rifles. I never met him but his inspiration was iconic to collectors!
Your family is in my prayers Joe. Brass Frame/Lee E

RIP Joe.

Sadly,, as we lose folks,, knowledge is also lost. Luckily,, he left us with a great book to preserve things with.
