[americal]

GOOD GRIEF :!: :!: ONE SHOW---not around my small circle---Nashville to Birmingham to Knoxville ETC. unless you run into FT 44 set-up 8) fine RUGERS--photo is a treat

 

[rugerguy]

Americal, there was at least 3 dozen others walking around,all shapes and sizes, two mint 357 flatops, one was boxed even, the other was a BKH34 in the #24xx range, your choice $800....I sent him to my friend bought the boxed BKH36, he was tickled.............boxed BKH44 brass frame was offered to me for $1100 but it would NOT letter, its been around for some time now, he was asking like $1500, no-ones bought it yet....oh well, maybe Radical remembers, was that 45 brassie a convertible?????
I never did get a chance to 'walk the floor', see all the tables, went direct to a couple of them to pick up "parts" or boxes, but that was it.....OH < I did screw up , yep, even I make a mistake, there was a stainless Old Army, had a 45 LC "conversion" ( centerfire) AND a Ruger Old Army flap holster for $400, I forgot to go back.....duh was too busy buying a couple of Bearcats for the price of ONE........ :roll: 8) :wink:

 

[radicalrod]

The brass frame 45 shorty is also a convertible....does not letter as a B but does as an X.....RR.

 

[rugerguy]

he may have been "desparate"?? came around Sunday AM, and offered it too me for less than I offered him last show, and I said "no",,,,hhhmmmm
Did I screw up again???? :shock:
Heck, Lee was trying to sell the one he had in the box and had NO 'bites' :?:

here is a better shot of the RSS5X..........

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Did the 80-prefix S-47 finally sell?

 

[flatgate]

Oh, my goodness! The only time I've seen any thing even remotely similar at a gun show around these parts was when I had the stuff for sale on MY table!

Wow!

flatgate

 

[Cholo]

Me neither. Since Bill H stopped doing gun shows in GA, the best old Ruger I might see is a beater 3 screw SS priced at 2x what it's worth. I need to start fishin' in a different state...

 

[rugerguy]

Yessir, we have 'missed Bill H the past few OGCA meetings, and that being said, between Bill H , Rich M, myself, John K and some others that have set up for all these years at the OGCA we see way MORE than our share of any and all Rugers, the only thing that is NOT there is one of the "full line" "dealers" who carry the Ruger product line for the latest , upto datest, nope there was NOT a 'single' ( any ) SR 1911 that I saw or even heard about,.but as for the old models, they were certainly here, and in "mass", as well as what was brought in by Members & guests.....yes, even had a guy bring me a Super Blackhawk with an "S" on the bottom, we sent him over to Rich and Jim S. don't know if they bought it or not,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
no Ale-8, did NOT sell that 80 prefix Super, as I said no-one really even paid any attention to most of the old models, and you saw all the ones we had on the table??? go figure .............
The 'radical One' cannot buy them all......... :roll: :wink:

 

[ibboatin28]

I was at that show. Was your table right in front and to the left as you come in?

 

[americal]

Wow!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I know what you mean flatgate the last Birmingham Al. show in October one NIB RSS5 800XXX gun -a friend bought it.

 

[rugerguy]

Randy, yes, that was us..............you gotta stop by ,say hello , so we can get to know, see and meet some of you folks....
depending on what day you were there, and time, we had some of the folks here, from the forum there with us...Ale-8 stopped by for a while and Paul S was there all Friday evening as well as half of Saturday....

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Yeah, I really couldn't believe all the folks who just walked by your tables, glanced at all the nice Old Models WITH BOXES and kept on walking.

Amazingly, one thing that seemed to draw interest was the little Savage single-shot-that-looks-like-a-single-action-revolver. There's just no explaining people.

 

[rugerguy]

Never did sell that $125 "wonder"...............

 

[jussbad]

Never did sell that $125 "wonder"...............

Savage 101? If so neat gun - Taught my son Wyatt his range safety skills on one of these (still have it).

 

[rugerguy]

Yessir, thats the one ( nice pictures by the way) and that gun is in much nicer shape too......the blue is off the frame on the one over here, it came from the estate we are selling for a friend.

[radicalrod]

Dan you gotta quit telling people about the OGCA......we want to keep all the deals for ourselves :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Dbl Auto]

RadicalRod, the word is out, too late. I just wish I would have got in front of you and rugerguy on that 514T

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Nice Snags Dan!
Terry

 

[martyj]

That 514 would of been appreciated here in NE too.

 

[d findley]

An ole friend of mine designed the Savage 101, in contrast, he also designed the big .45 Mag. Wildey pistol. His name is Robert Hillberg.

[americal]

J :arrow: BAD sure would like to see photos of that 101 never seen one looks neat 8) or you Dan post yours you have plenty of time :wink: :wink:

 

[OldRugerMan]

Some pics of my Savage 101 NIB with an article written by James Triggs that appered in the Rifleman July 1963. I found this gun at a show in Denver in 1998 and paid a huge (at the time) pile of $$$ for it :!: I bought one of these guns in 1963 as it was the only handgun my Dad would let be buy - I think I paid $17 for it - it was on Lay-A-Way at the 5 Points Gun Shop in Twin Falls, Idaho until I could bail it out with my lawn mowing money. Very fond memories for me...

 

[americal]

THANKS FOR THE PICTURE 8) 8)

Dan:

What is the current market value of that Stainless MK II 5 1/4-inch target model, NIB with shipper? I ask because I have one that I bought new, when I had my FFL and now that I have four KMK512 shooters, along with a stainless 6 7/8ths with a red dot on it and at least four NIB stainless slabsides, I may need to send the KMK514 to a new home. Thanks!

[rugerguy]

Bearcat, I would NOT sell it for LESS than $450 and they go up from there, bet an auction would draw/get even more..................
LOTS of folks looking for them :roll:
