BuckeyeBlast · 01-15-2010, 05:08 PM

Holy Crap! Personal collection???

RD18 · 01-15-2010, 05:15 PM

Yes, and in the cases at the back wall are all the major guns Ruger made from 1949 to 1993 the Ruger chart on the rear wall explains what is in those cases --I showed a little bit of whats in them in the drawer with the engraved autos and the other drawer withe the RSSE hope you enjoy Russ

BuckeyeBlast · 01-15-2010, 05:29 PM

Yes, I enjoy. However, I have a jealousy problem and I hate you.

Very nice collection, thanks for the peek.

MJG · 01-15-2010, 05:31 PM

That's a man with a very understanding wife!

supv26 · 01-15-2010, 05:38 PM

That is awesome! When I built my home I was going to build a vault room also but my budget didn't allow it. If I ever build another it WILL have a vault room for my stuff.

What Vault door did you use?

jhrosier · 01-15-2010, 05:43 PM

Russ,

You win.

(Amazing collection ! )

Rugerismisticness · 01-15-2010, 06:29 PM

lottery? Are you the president at Ruger?

BlkHawk73 · 01-15-2010, 06:42 PM

• Just above the "U" on the USST banner, there two opened cases with medallions in them, and a plate behind them. Any info on those three items?
• Bat tube near the bottom shelf?
• No glassware (mugs, glasses, steins) or employee gifts?
- sorry those are my favorites
• Pardinis I see?

Been running out of room for the fast-growing amount of Ruger memorabilia here and that slat stuff gives me ideas. Where ya get it?

Ok, that all out of the way... I too must say that's quite a nice set-up. Any special serial #'s among that group?

Halfwit · 01-15-2010, 06:43 PM

Nicely Done!

I hope you are single!I don't even want to try to guess what you had to buy the significant other to compensate for that!

RNorris · 01-15-2010, 06:46 PM

Amazing....you should do a video tour!

I think so,at least 2.Not sure what the air pistol is but probably also a Pardini...

Doc45 · 01-15-2010, 07:24 PM

You sir, are my hero!

RD18 · 01-15-2010, 07:32 PM

The Medallions were issued by Ruger and the Olympic Center to tie in with the USA Shooting 22 autos each medalion is # they went from 1 to 250 so if you purchased say S.N. 165 you could also get the matching medalion. The 2 I have are # 6 and # 8 to match the my guns # 8 was a one of a kind done for the USA Team to raise funds. Actualy I just looked at the picture and I think you saw the coin type medalions they are a set of bronze, silver and gold Ruger/USA shooting coins made for 2008 Olympics,the single one is made of gold amd silver there were 25 made, they did not get out to the public because of a stop order from China. The plate is from the dinning room at the Olympic Center. The tube is a Ruger calender from 1979 as far as glassware I need to update the pictures I have wine glasses ,stiens,plates,ornaments,mugs,shot glasses, ect. My wife is a jewel. The air pistol you see is a styer the one missing is a pardini air. Russ

GSCSA · 01-15-2010, 08:24 PM

Incredible! I just showed the pics to muy wife and told her to stop complaining!

She told me not to get any ideas.

78CJ5 · 01-15-2010, 08:41 PM

Wow!

Brian040 · 01-15-2010, 09:06 PM

Sweet collection! Don't let Barney Frank or Deval Patrick find out about that stash in "their" state

FriendIndeed · 01-15-2010, 09:32 PM

That is beautiful! Looks like a museum! My only question is... diversity?

frenchy · 01-16-2010, 01:38 AM

You do not appreciate Ruger's GP100 sir? Or are those in another vault??(drooling with imagination)

220combat · 01-16-2010, 03:54 AM

Very impressive collection. I'm jealous

mjbike · 01-16-2010, 04:19 AM

Very Nice!

Hairtrigger · 01-16-2010, 04:23 AM

Just wait until he figures out that Ruger makes a really cool rifle called the No.1

CorneliusIII · 01-16-2010, 04:33 AM

Ok, this is just plain mean!

JohnD13 · 01-16-2010, 04:55 AM

That great powder horn must be for your Old Army!

Hairtrigger · 01-16-2010, 05:09 AM

Did you see the 2 safes possibly full of No 1s, ARs, 10/22s, and maybe even a .50bmg?

I think I saw only 3 1911??? No Deagles or Sigs?

I have the USST medallion which was matched to the guns, but was unsure about the apparent 3 coin set. Thanx!

I fancy the factory (non-RCA stuff) glassware/stoneware myself. Almost a full collection - missing a shot glass a couple mugs I just recently discovered were produced.
I can also add my wife is also a jewal and very understanding. Besides, just as I have my Ruger stuff, she has her guitars. Gotta play fair.

techase · 01-16-2010, 07:04 AM

Very Impressive. Do you own anything other than Rugers?

James · 01-16-2010, 12:21 PM

Amazing collection. Thank you for sharing it.

RD18 · 01-16-2010, 01:31 PM

Answers to some of the other questions---the gun on the mat is a Pardini getting ready to be cleaned---as far as diversity HMM do you mean other manafacturers or long guns?? I dont have to many others besides Rugers but when it comes to Ruger I think I am some what diversified. Now about the GP or any P series, I do like them but only have a couple--I will try to post some updated pictures when I get back from the shot show---Russ

rclark · 01-16-2010, 01:48 PM

Nice! Got to ask. How do you pick which one ya' go'na shoot next? Some of those don't look like they've been used much

bigmagnus · 01-16-2010, 02:54 PM

Cowbikinlogger · 01-16-2010, 11:14 PM

frenchy · 01-17-2010, 12:58 AM

Ya he was there at the battle for the Alamo and snatched all the 45s he could before Rugering his way out of there without a scratch. He now exposes them as seen in the pictures, at Fort Knox...

Hairtrigger · 01-17-2010, 04:48 AM
