Post by flattop44 »

A big congratulations goes out to Don Findley, his Ruger Standard Auto #3 was awarded a NRA Silver Metal as one of the ten best weapons a the NRA Annual meeting in Dallas. #3 was the first Ruger shipped in 1949. His display for ROCS also won the award for Best in our Class. You are competing with the best of the best at the NRA collectors displays. Outstanding achievements!! Pictures to follow. Way to go Don and the ROCS team that was there to support him.

Congratulations to Don Findley and everyone that helped or contributed to the exhibit this year. It's great to see our brand go head to head with the other high-class displays and come out a winner. The photos that I've seen thus far look great!!!

Don and I sat out the Awards Ceremony. Let Dave, Mike, Tom and my Grandson Jack go. Too nerve wracking for old folks! Tom texted me when it was awarded to #3. What a relief and well deserved.
