New guy from VA

Post by my3swedes »

Greetings from VA. New here but a life long Ruger Guy. Started with a P89 and P90 as my first guns back in the early 1990’s , then a few GP100’s and now a few .22 autos.
I belong to the Virginia Gun Collectors Assoc. Along with another new member Jowdurt we do a Ruger .22 display at out March and November show every year. If anyone is in the VA area we would sure enjoy meeting some folks. We cover Red Eagles thru MK IV’s. With a bunch of rare ones in between.

You are in the right place! Ruger is spoken fluently here and we have fun. Join in the festivities
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...

I would like to invite you and your buddies to the Ohio show in July every year. We put up displays of our Rugers in the center aisle of the Ohio Gun Collectors Assn. We usually get 16 to 20 displays, plus we do a banquet and judge the displays for awards. Check us out under the SHOWS section of the ROCS web page, rugersociety.com We would love to have you join us, at Wilmington, Ohio.
Let me know an address and I can send you a packet of information in March. Brass Frame/Lee E

I am new from VA as well and set up with my3sweedes above at the VGCA gunshow in Manassas VA. We had a special visitor in November at the show and I have included a picture of him in front of our display. This is Othias from the YouTube Channel C&Rsenal. Othias is a really nice guy who does one heck of a job explaining the history and development of older firearms. Would really love for him to cover the Ruger Story in one of his future installments.
