Christmas came a little early this year.......

The craziest place we ever found Ruger tools at was the Perry, IA National Guard Armory gun show about 20 years ago. They only ever held 4 or 5 shows there. Perry is only about 8,000 population.
Laying on a gun show table at $100 each were a Ruger screwdriver (the long type) and a straight drill, early type with nickel finish and large size chuck.

Yeah RR,, I know which one it is. I have notes in my records. I'd make you an offer,, but my gun fun funds are low at the moment. But hey,, we'll have to get together one of these days & let the one you have move to a warmer climate!

I managed a few drills myself. I found a straight one years ago on a gun show table for $50. Then the guy said he had a second one,, with the wooden know broken. I got it for $25 if my memory is correct. My pistol gripped one cost me more than that.
But I'm ALWAYS looking at all flea markets,, yard sales, auctions etc to hopefully stumble over one of them one of these days.

Ty, remind me before the July OGCA / ROCS show to dig it out....

Maybe I can move to a warmer climate along with the gun.....RR
