I read "AC-556" and got excited there for a sec...  Ronnie Barrett had a silent partner for quite a few years. He had a very impressive full auto collection. The AC556 was a lot of fun to fire. He had a really nice Spencer carbine collection also. Got to fire a few rounds out of one of his shooter grade rifles. I loved firing that. |

I bought one a few months ago for $450 OTD. Now the rifle has over 1000 rds through, using only steel case ammo with no problem. I figure if anything breaks Ruger will take care of it any way.
Trigger could have been lightly, but for what it is I don't mind putting a lot of rounds through. No hate here! |

I'm new, why do we hate ruger? and before there were so many news outlets, so that people had basically only 3 options for news...ABC, NBC, or CBS...especially national nightly news... Bill Ruger was interviewed by some talking head anchor person...somebody like a Tom Brokaw, or Dan Rather, or Ted Koppel... During the interview, Bill Ruger, on natiinal fucking TV, said this "No honest, simple civilian needs more than ten rounds." ... (I am paraphrasing here...) A quick google search yielded this:  Attached FileAnd yes, I get it...he is long since dead...and the company has moved past his Fudd stance. |

It was late 1994 or early 1995, I was 22 and a green-as-grass Air Force 2Lt. when I went to Jim's Gun Jobbery (err...Robbery???) in Fayetteville, NC. I wanted to get into pistol shooting, and I was looking to buy my first .22 . There was a Ruger Mark IV (government model???) in the glass case. 
I told the guy behind the counter "I'll take it!" He gave me one of these:
and a "Are you sure?" At that time, I had no idea Bill Ruger had sold us out on national TV. |

I had thought there was something more recent in Illinois were Ruger was one of two companies who hired a single PR guy to represent them in the legislature and the PR guy seriously screwed up and cost us some gun right. Hell, my memory is getting so bad, who knows? |
