I'd bet it's something other than FA's that has to do with their investment casting.

THis just in: Army replacing M-16 rifles with Mini-14's and is also adopting the P-89 as the official sidearm.
Ruger denies that they are resuming production of 30 round mags, since "No legitimate need exists..." |

Rumsfeld on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to spend at least $1 billion to expand the size and accelerate the training and equipping of Iraqi security forces. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061101/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq The Iraqis have already gotten some Rugers... glocktalk.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=7054770 Maybe they're gonna get some more? |

Well can you imagine? It would be like a giant A-Team with milions of men, nobody could touch them. BTW, the Ruger family has largely sold out from the biz, new management is taking over. |

Bill Ruger Jr. retired about 6 months ago. He was a character... very friendly guy.
Ruger is also building/implementing a large new titanium foundry which promises to substantially increase US titanium production. I smelled .gov contracts as soon as I heard about it. |

I heard they will be selling rifle/pistol sets as a SHTF kit.
A 10/22 and a SP101 in .38 Spl. Afterall, isn't that all you need? |

Titanium .480s! Wonder how much one of those would cost!
No, they have a subsidiary company right next door to the Newport, NH plant called Pine Tree Castings. They do more than just firearms. |

My company buys pipe castings from Ruger. Diversification is the key.
Maybe since the Rugers are gone, they will start selling good OEM hi-cap magazines for the Ruger Mini-14. And make accurate barrels? |
