RUGER OWNERS & COLLECTORS SOCIETY, INC


ROCS ROCKED ROCKET CITY!!

The 8th Annual ROCS Display Show Jan. 28 & 29, 2023


Narrative by Bill Hamm & Pictures by David Faulkner


A few TRUE Ruger addicts once again traveled to Huntsville, Alabama for the 8 th Annual ROCS Display show and gathering. They traveled from Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee to attend and display. A couple of Alabamians also showed up. We really had a great time displaying and spending time together. We had six ROCS displays that included some very fine and unique Rugers. The public asked several questions and seemed to enjoy the displays.

The displayers received prizes donated the CASC show promoters, Allen Daniels and his son, Ryan Wells. Allen has special knives made with ROCS and the show date engraved on the blade! The knives are simply beautiful!! The Red Eagle News Exchange gave a 1-year free subscription for their judged "Best Ruger of the Show" and winner of the Advanced display. ROCS presented NRA/ROCS Silver Medals to their "Best Ruger of the Show" pre- and post-1973 produced Rugers.

A good time was had by all. Even though we had a small group the stories and tales told were as big as you could get!! We certainly appreciate the dedication of all the displayers and the hard work that was put into building these great displays. It really helps get the identity of our club out there and attract new members. I want to invite all of you to consider bringing a display to next year's ROCS Display Show in Huntsville, AL. You will enjoy it and its simply great to spend a weekend with like minded gun folks and friends!!
