Hello and welcome from Indiana!

Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

SPAS 15, I need to get a few good pics of the Red Label. I have a few from the auction page, but they are fairly poor quality. I'll see what I can do about that, as well as the other OM Blackhawks. I have very few photos of the rest of the OM BH's, but I have managed to find .30 Carbine, both lengths of .41 Mag, and a real nice S47 as well. There's also a 3-screw Single-Six in the herd. It is a shooter, great mechanically, but well worn.

rugerguy and Watertender, I come about the Red Tractor affliction honest. My dad was an IH, then Case-IH dealer tech for 37 years, including my "formative" years. I generally just say no to things in green and yellow wrappers, exception being a few items in the Remington shades. If I'm honest, this red tractor thing has also caused me to divert some "Ruger funds" towards a decent IH-manufactured M1 Garand.

RocDoc and Brass Frame, I'm actually quite interested in No. 1's, but have just never pursued any. That may change in the future. I need to get to a show with some of the ROCS folks soon. I seem to get to the national red tractor show (Red Power Roundup) every time it is held within a few/several hours drive, but I've never even been to the Tulsa show only ~5 hours away.

good for you...my "I-H" is 1954 vintage, almost brand new, can hit clay birds on the bank of the 200 yard back stop...off hand........she's been retired for over 20 years now

Sweet collection and good taste there are a bunch of good guys here with load's of information.

John, glad to have you with us, if you haven't already I highly advise an ROCS membership. I can tell by your lineup of lead slingers you've been bitten by the Ruger bug - that itch won't go away, but the scratching of it is fun.

You have an very nice collection.

Welcome and best regards from Vienna.

Agreed! I pulled the trigger (via PayPal) on my ROCS membership yesterday evening, so I am officially on board now.
