Where would American handgunners be without the Ruger family? Starting with that first 22 Auto!

There will a gathering at funeral home, Friday in Newport. Bill’s funeral is 1100h Saturday 22 September 2018, Blue Mountain Forest, aka Corbin Park, Croydon, New Hampshire. The funeral for Bill Ruger, Sr., was held in Blue Mountain Forest in 2002. This will be a deep remembrance.

THE RUGER's HAD THEIR HEART IN IT, NOW TOO MANY BEAN COUNTERS IN CHARGE ALL OVER THE GUN INDUSTRY, WHO ESPOUSE "VALUE ENGINEERING", i.e. CUTTING CORNERS TO SAVE THEM MONEY BUT YOU GET A LESSER PRODUCT, HOWEVER, WE STILL GOT IT PRETTY GOOD HERE IN THE USA.

I'll fire a shot Saturday in his honor, hopefully at another antelope.

I've two sets of friends inbound this am for shooting and loading support. At 11am, as soon as I'll shoot for fun here due to wanting to be a good neighbor, will arm all here with a Ruger and let fly at the steel.

Condolences to all on the forum fortunate enough to know him. I'd hate to think of where the world of single actions would be without the Ruger family.
