Ruger Mourns Death of Former CEO William B. Ruger, Jr.

 

[BWH]

Yes indeed. I love that company & their products. From the beginning, always did it "right". Co-Founder Alexander Sturm died shortly after the founding of the company, so Bill Sr. changed the signature trademark (red eagle) to a black eagle to mourn his death.

Very sad. I love Rugers and have owned 5 of them and used outfitters Rugers in Texas and South Africa. I think the Ruger #1 is still the prettiest gun out there. RIP and condolences to the family.
