Ruger Collectors Association

I think I remember hearing about those back then. The only problem is I think only distributors got those. Not sure any even made it to collectors hands. It is hard to tell how many were produced, maybe CASE would have that info. There's another note, two posts below this one, of a special sales ach...

Can't wait to see your new book!!!

Donnie:
Shoot me an email so I remember it when I look at my emails every morning. I probably have a few archived photos. Also have pics of the very ornat 25th Anniversary Old Army if you want.

Not definitive yet... but I am working on it. A few months ago I did an article in Red Eagle News Exchange on stainless number 1's with production quantities (units shipped).

Any non-prefix Number 1 rifle is not common as there were less than 8,500 produced. But as far as non-prefix guns go, the .308 is one of the two most common calibers along with the .222.
