Re: Musing,, Our Ruger collecting world

I should have mentioned that I belong to the JPL Gun Club (yes, that JPL) as a friend's and family member. I shoot rifle and pistol club matches with a bunch of engineers and tecnicians at a local range. We hold an annual beginners day where anyone can come for an information and safety briefing pri...

Re: 1957 4 5/8" Single Six

Thank you, Troy, for that generous offer. But you might say I'm addicted to chocolate and have gone plum crazy now. However, you'll be the first call if I ever regain my sanity.

Thank you, Lee.
I don't understand why the Company is doing this. I know it's about $$ but to sacrifice customer engagement? Sure do miss Linda.

1957 4 5/8" Single Six

I won this piece on a recent Bauer auction. It looks to me like it came from the factory with a 4 5/8" barrel but I know that is hard to prove. It also has a unique blued hammer, which I hadn't noticed until I brought it home today. It's in great shape with only minor freckling on the ERH and a...

Re: 1956 RSSE?

Wow, wish I'd seen that. Very interesting. The box must be worth more than the gun. Odd that someone would pair a non factory engraved Six with a factory box.

Re: Musing,, Our Ruger collecting world

This is a great thread about something I've been thinking a lot about lately, too. It is the big question for all of us as we age and see the appreciation for old guns seem to wane. Different times, for sure. I wasn't able to afford the money or the time for collecting until I retired. A good friend...

Re: 1956 RSSE?

Thanks,
I just ordered COMPLIMENTS on eBay last week.

Re: 1956 RSSE?

I like it anyway.
