I love the old ads.

I have a notebook full of them. I have all the ones published in the American Rifleman from the very first (August 1949) until well into the 1970's. After that,, I have a different notebook with dealer flyers of many of the ads.

I have several old Boy Scout manuals that predate Ruger firearms . They have some really neat adds for guns , bicycles , camping gear, flashlights etc .

At the end of this, he shot at 100,010 blocks and hit 100,004, missing only six! The rifles were cleaned only five times during the demonstration.

There is a slight connection with the Nylon 66 and the Ruger Bearcat!

Every Thursday we'll reprint an article from the American Rifleman archives. In this article from 2009, the authors provide the history of the first synthetic rifle scope. Called “The Rifle of Tomorrow” or a “Buck Rogers” rifle when first introduced, the Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle was one of...

Remember Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" planting Red Ryder BB Gun ads in obvious places for his parents to see? I think old gun advertisements are great
