New Member from CT

[Baxter6551]

Hello! Happy Super Bowl Sunday to y’all. New member here from CT. Over 10 years on S&W Forum with same user name. Not really a Ruger collector as opposed to a Ruger user but I have managed to accumulate some nice Ruger rifles and handguns. My wife bought me a Model 77 International .308 for a first anniversary gift (1982) so that was a good start ! Took my first buck with it. Unfortunately the same year semi inherited father in laws blue 6” Security Six. Look forward to being a member and learning more about Rugers. As can be seen from the photo I posted I’m not far from Lacey Place. I’m hoping to add another Ruger shortly.

Welcome from another Ruger 'user rather than collector' in Wyoming! (And there are some Smith owners around here, too!)

Welcome from a long time Fairfield, CT resident now living in SC.
During my summers when I was in college I worked at the plating factory right across the street from Ruger.

 

[Baxter6551]

Hey WWS - yes the plating factory is still there - Superior Plating Company and appears to be going strong based on the number of cars there. I go by there to visit the Gunsmithing Unlimited Shop in the back of the Ruger Factory.

Hi Baxter6551,
I know that place well. I had my Mark iii re-blued there.

Welcome, retired LEO! The Super Bowl was a great game! I see you are also on a S&W forum also. It is nice to hear that you have some Ruger made guns as well. I am a dire hard Ruger fan, and all my guns are Ruger revolvers - two .357 Mag revolvers (Blackhawk and GP100), and one Blackhaek .45LC/ACP (covertible).

My .357 Mag Blackhawk is also blued, but the other two are stainless, which I prefer. Thanks for sharing your gun pics. There is a theme here in this forum where people have shown pics of their revolvers. There is one thread for Single Action Centerfire revolvers (https://www.rugerforum.com/threads/single-action-revolver-pictures-centerfire.304353/), and one for Single Action Rimfile revolvers (https://www.rugerforum.com/threads/single-action-revolver-pictures-rimfire.304351/). There maybe others. At the bottom of the first page on the single action centerfire thread, are pics of my two Ruger single action revolvers.
