Newby from NC

Post by MRMIKE »

Just found the sight, awesome stuff here!!! My history with Ruger started in the early 70s, my stepfather, and my mom started working at the Newport facility, stepdad was a machinist, my mom was in double action assembly for 29 years. I worked in woodworking in '77/'78, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I have a bunch of stuff given to me by my mom over the years, my prize possession being a red label o/u 20 year gift gun given to her upon her completing the 20 years of employment there. I got to choose the configuration that I wanted, and it has her name engraved on it with the rest of the 20 year stuff. I look forward to getting into the site and reading more, some really great info here. Thanks, Mike

Welcome to the fun. This is the greatest bunch of people you will ever meet. Ruger is spoken fluently here and the collective knowledge is amazing. Glad you are here with us.
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...
