Ruger Collectors Show in Idaho, Jan. 9/10, 2010

Hank: try [email protected]

By the way I spent a couple of hours in the gun room and it looks like I could show the variations as far a engineering/production changes with 8 rifles and that would also show the 3 styles of Semi Beavertail forearms, not counting checkering changes.

That would show nearly every thing including the 4 checkering patterns if you include an early rifle without the forearm diamond as the 2nd style (which I do).

Of course a guy could go the OTHER way and show one rifle with one change from start to finish but that ends up with something like 30 rifles or so. I might have them that way but it'd be a bunch to haul around just to display for a day.

Right now I'm drawing pictures of a display case. I'm not sure I'd want this many early/rare #1s sitting on a table being pawed through and handled by Joe Average.

Serious collectors/afficianados with permission is a different issue. ;-)

UPDATE: To insure a good showing of Ruger Displays, the promoter has agreed to FREE Ruger Display Tables. Also the promoter has decided to give AWARDS, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best of Show. I have attached a flyer that Lewis Clark has forwarded to me.
More updates to come soon, Hope to see you at the show. Hank

Just Talked to my Dad & he said he would come down from OR & give me a hand so I guess I will be in the show in January! Sounds fun.

 

[circlergrugers]

All interested, I need to get the paperwork back by the 1st of December in order to get back with the promoter to see that the table count is correct.

 

[Terry T]

Already sent mine in - assume you got it.

[circlergrugers]

Update: Someone will be going home with this. A LCR with a subscription
serial number, #176. This may be a Raffle item, or who know's!!

 

[hutchman]

Are the room rates available for us mere mortals who will not show anything, but merely show up? Sounds like this would be a great excuse for a 5 hour road trip.

 

[circlergrugers]

Yes, they are, If you need any information PM me and I'll help with what ever I can. Come to the show and awards dinner and have fun. Hank

"circlergrugers",
WOW!
I'd love to give that new, very special, LCR a very nice new home! It would have lots of SP101 brothers and sisters to play with.
Thanks for all the effort you're putting into this show!

I went to the show and picked up a 4 digit SN, 95% +, .41 magnum blackhawk at this show. She is a beauty. Got her for $625 but no box.
