[flatgate]

There are not enough words to describe my gratitude to all my Friends here at Ruger Forum! I'll simply say Thank You so very, very much!
No real order to these....

Yes, the Mini-14 was indeed shipped from the Newport Factory to the Southport Office specifically for Jim Triggs!

Wow! I can't believe it!

I'm sad to say I couldn't come up with the funds to contribute.

People aren't buying expensive guitars very much these days for some reason :shock: and my hours have been cut back dramatically, but I do want to express my thanks for all your hard work and contributions here

so

THANK YOU!!

You are welcome. Enjoy

If I recall correctly, you didn't own any rifles, correct? Now you do!

 

[flatgate]

What are 2 or 3 of your most favorite and why?

Easy question! The .357 max and the .32 H&R Single-Six are my favorites.
I've been "accumulating" Single Action Rugers since the mid 1980's. My first Ruger was a 7-1/2" .357 Max!

That "Jim Triggs" Mini-14 is sure growing on me.....

Oh, well, DL, I don't always "show all/tell all"....... there are two other s/n 100 Mini-14's tucked away here in Western Wyoming........

I think this should be a 'sticky'! After all this is the World Wide Web and we have members from all over and down under!

I think we would all enjoy watching/reading flatgates responses to the various questions.

Carl congratulations as you are very deserving!

Wow! Those are really nice!! I liked that SSM6 too, Carl! 8)

Wouldn't mind one of those Red Labels, myself. Especially one in a 20.

Thanks for sharing!!

 

[ray1944]

Carl, I just want to say thanks for the use of this forum you are a most deserving person!

 

[I_Like_Pie]

I guess Carl wouldn't feel right for "sticky-ing" his own post...so I will do it for him

You know that now this means you will have to build a S/N 100 display for when you hit the shows.

Congrats...The forum is 10 years old soon and like it or not you are the lynchpin that has kept it chugging along.
