This year at Tulsa the Ruger Collectors Association (RCA) was represented by some great displays this year.

This is my wife and myself with our U.S. Auto pistol display.

One of my highlights for the show was meeting Mr. Frank Bonaventura. Frank was a long time Ruger employee and Sunday celebrated his 70th birthday. One of the guns I had in my display was once owned by Frank.

Pictured with Frank and the MK-678G serial number 210-00108 that he once owned. Less than 20 of these are known in private collections.

Daves son and his display. It is good to see new and younger people getting involved. This young man did a great job and has inspired the RCA to possibly start a JR. class.

Rod and his display. Rod has blessed us in the past years with several great displays and this one was no exception. Another great job and very well done Rodney (RadicalRod)

These are a group of knock out displays. Family commitments prevented me from attending this year. Vince, you have really stepped up with that great display of Supers. Sorry that I missed seeing your display in person. I think the quality and rarity continues to grow.
Dave L. also is to be thanked for his hard work before and during the show. Great job, Dave. I plan to see everyone in Harrisburg, Pa. in March. Brass Frame/Lee

Once again, truly excellent displays, and friendly faces to match! I am constantly amazed at the rare Rugers & stuff that gets put out & displayed. It's WHY I love to display myself, sharing all of this!
