And throwing a hissy fit on a public message board because Ruger disagrees with you is a mature thing to do?

so what is your stance on Ruger not selling the High Cap mags and the folders to cililians???

Posted: 9/14/2004 8:25:11 AM EDT

[#10]

I used to own about 6 or 7 Ruger Mini-14s.

Had a shiiteload of 30 and 40 rounder mags to go with them.

Then 1994 came along and I sold everything that I had that Ruger ever made with the exception of two Ruger weapons of great sentimental value - 1 .44 mag cal. Ruger Deerslayer carbine which I purchased on my 18th Birthday, and a .44 mag cal. Ruger Super Blackhawk that my Father bought me a few years before he died.

But the fact that Ruger won't sell most internal parts without returning the weapon to them for the installation is one of the reasons that I got rid of all of them.

Who needs such crap when the SHTF??!!

Meanwhile, I have plenty of spare parts for all my remaining weapons!

Is everybody boycotting Colt…

who does not sell replacement part to the public,
who does not sell high-capacity magazines to the public,
who does not plan on making new rifles with formally banned features,
and who has defiantly done more to harm gun owners that Ruger ever did.

Not to the extent of the Ruger bashing. I seem to recall a few dealers on this 'site are actively taking orders for new Colt LEO-marked rifles. And there doesn't seem to be any shortage of buyers. I guess a prancing horsey makes all the difference to some people.

SO WHAT.

There is nothing stopping a Ruger dealer from doing the same thing with Ruger rifles. The policy of Colt is EXACTLY the same as the policy of Ruger but with safe personal guns ect, added in.

They should try a little consistency and less hypocrisy.

No, not "so what." I doubt you understand Ruger's policies, just like the other ill-informed posters. They have dealers and they have LE dealers. The two aren't the same. You can't walk into a Ruger LE dealer and buy a M77 and you can't walk into a "regular" Ruger dealer and buy a Mini 14 high capacity magazine.

Oh, and FYI, Ruger hasn't manufactured the Mini 14 GB in years. They have no folding stocks available, nor do they have many of the parts that were common to the GB. I suppose someone will take issue with that and start bitching and crying. Just buy some PMIs and STFU.

You are just really to dense for words…

One more time without the bullsh*t how does Colts policy differ from Rugers?

FYI dumbass there are already Ruger dealers advertising new factory high capacity magazines for sale to the general public.

All the bickering aside, who buys mags from the manufacturer anyways?

My Ruger has many 30 round mags, scads of 15 rounders and loads of 9 rounders.

I've never even thought of buying a mag direct from the manufacturer... it would be more expensive anyhow wouldn't it? Sure it would.

Molehill to a mountain here, I don't see the point in this discussion...

Call me crazy.

Call me a fool

Just dont call me at 3am

Maybe you really ought to consider understanding the definition of dense before any further blunders. Ruger doesn't make any LEO Minis anymore. Been that way for a LOT of years. If they're not making them, then how would a Ruger LE dealer order one? Think about it, but not too hard.

Further, I don't recall posting that Ruger had a different policy than Colt. Do you? Perhaps you could show me. Then again, maybe you can't. The only hypocrisy demonstrated here has been that of ill-informed posters. The ones who want to bash Ruger, but suck up to Colt. Let me know if this is all too much for you to comprehend.

And perhaps you should also understand the meaning of DUMBASS before labeling yourself as one. Did I not state in earlier posts that the magazines could be had from dealers? Did I not state that? YES OR NO??????!!!!!!! Did I not state that Ruger's own sales policy wouldn't slow anyone down who wanted one? DID I NOT STATE THAT? YES OR NO??????!!!

While I have tactical disagreements with their refusal to sell certain parts to the public at large, and political problems with the company's attitude towards the RKBA!

That was sufficient for me to get OFF the Ruger Bandwagon and stay OFF the Ruger Bandwagon!

I know that is easy enough to understand! Right?

No, you're not providing a valid disagreement. Your argument doesn't amount to squat. You're mad at Ruger for not selling high capacity Mini 14 magazines directly to the public. BIG DEAL, THEY NEVER HAVE. I posted how to get around that, which is what everyone has been doing in the Mini 14's 30+ years of existence.

its not the high cap mags specificly, it is there general stance on 2nd amendment issues, and this phone call just reaffirmed my stance

And as I asked you earlier, how does their business decision relate to that? Ever dealt with HK USA? They don't sell squat to the public!!!! Nothing. I guess in your world there would be a lot of anti-2nd Amendment gun companies.

There are many other gun companies with similar and identical policies. Because Ruger is the largest firearms manufacturer in the U.S., they are more visible.

Bye bye 10/22, hello CZ 452.....

Isn't the 452 a bolt gun? Or am I thinking of something else?

If you want a good mag-fed 22 auto, what other options would you consider?

452 is a bolt gun. I'm currently not too picky, but I figure I've got a .22 pistol and a crapload of ammo, so why not get a rifle to go with it? Everyone needs a .22 rifle (or is that a .22 and a .38?)...

For mag fed 22 auto.....it's pricey, but Volquartsen makes their own receiver, and it has an integral rail to boot. That's the route I'd go for a mag fed .22 semi.....

And what is up with the bickering. I mean, jeez. Shouldn't most of you be happy? You guys get normal cap mags, collapsible stocks, flash hiders, and bayo lugs! We get an ASSAULT WEAPON TASK FORCE!!!!!
