Hello Charlie,
Thank you for the reply and question. It would be wonderful if I could scan and file under the Ruger.forum, Board Index of (General Topics) subset (Education or Library). There are so many great pieces of Sturm Ruger, Co educational articles that have been researched and published. To post a collection of published items such as the Ruger Collectors' JournalorThe Ruger Owners and Collectors Digeston a forums such as ours would cause many issues because of the copyright or proprietary nature of the material. Its easy enough to quote an article, author or even the publication name when having a discussion on the forum and bantering back and forth in a post on say a "retooling method" or a former employee article on a how the "76 Liberty NR4" really came to be. Not only do you have the copyright concern of the organizations themselves but individual authors within the organization. Charlie, Ive had Remington shotguns and handguns my entire life (50). I'm a member of both the RCA and ROCS but I'm new to the higher level learning of Ruger education. I've spent (30) years in the military, I have four young adult children and three grandchildren and have recently retired. The library is for my family and I in our insatiable consumption on the history and memorabilia of Sturm Ruger, Co. I share my products with all by answering posts on questions and answers using material I have purchased or collected. I'm working with mentors from ROCS and RCA to begin writing my own articles for publications. I hope I've answered your question as well as any others on my intent. I assure all who are considering selling me their issues that they aren't being resold. They are a treasured resource that I'm seeking for a library of history.
Thank you for your Service Charlie, I see in your profile you served in VN as a SSGT, VN 68-69
