38 years later...

Post by zebra55 »

I remember being in my senior year of college when Ruger announced the Lyman Centennial. I drooled at the pictures, wishing I could afford even a grade II edition. but being young and broke, it just wasn't to be. Now 38 years later, I finally now own, not only a Grade II ( actually have 2), but now finally got a Grade I...I guess it's one of the bright spots of getting old is having some play money.

Grade I's have always been hard to find. Don't know where all the first ones went, but they don't turn up too often.
