Once again RR you have managed to score a super good set. My friend, I applaud your luck & persistance! The numbers game is yours, and you are one of the best at getting them together!
Thanks for sharing them!

"Hello, my name is Rod, and I am a numberholic..." :lol:

 

[SteveRuger]

"Hello Rod"

 

[radicalrod]

Well now for the rest of the story......this same #146 was at the RIA auction and I did bid on it but the winner and myself had placed the exact same bid :shock: :shock: :shock: only he had placed his bid FIRST so I didn't "WIN IT"......well I call RIA and told them of my dilemma and they said they could not give me the buyers name but would certainly be happy to pass my phone number along to the buyer......well never heard anything and just kinda forgot about it.....then what do I see in T Town and man I know the guy too.....seems Jim H wanted that gun too and had it for sale on his table.....I told him of my intense need for said gun and that we had tied on the auction bid.....being the gentleman that most RUGER COLLECTORS are he graciously agreed to sell said gun to me for the same price it brought at the auction.....sometimes things are just meant to be :lol: :lol: :lol: and that's the rest of the story....RR.

 

[RugerHound]

Sounds like that gun knew where it needed to be!

 

[chet15]

Rod...that's the same #146 I told you about a while back, that was in the R.I. Auction in December 2011.
Small world, and guns do travel, but glad you got it!!
