The Ruger Collectors Association Display Shows has partnered with Turnbull Manufacturing (www.turnbullmfg.com) for our 2010 annual fund raising raffle.



This year, we are offering a Ruger #1S rifle in 45-70 that has received Turnbull's extensive Ruger #1 package, which includes color case hardening of the receiver, lever, scope base and rings, rust blued barrel, charcoal bluing of the rest of the metal parts, stock refinishing and checkering recut, and a new butt pad installed. This handsome rifle also has a "turning bull" custom brass pistol grip cap and logo engraved on the bottom of the receiver.

The Ruger Collectors Association Display Shows is pleased to once again partner with Turnbull Manufacturing to offer this truly one of a kind rifle.

Only a limited number of tickets will be available to anyone. Tickets will be $20 each or $100 for 6. Ticket purchasing will open on August 18th and will run through November 13th. A drawing for the winner will take place during the annual Ruger Collectors Association banquet on Saturday, November 13th, 2010 during the Wannamacher Gun Show in Tulsa, OK. Winner need not be present to win.

Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Ruger Collectors Association Display Show funds. These funds are used to run the RCA display shows, the NRA show, fund trophies, improve our recruitment tables, fund member badges, etc.

The rifle will be transferred to the winner's FFL shortly after the drawing. Please note that the rifle will only be shipped to a licensed dealer upon receipt of a copy of their FFL.

Stay tuned for more details on how to purchase tickets.
2010 RCA Membership Drive

2010 Membership Drive
2010 - Life Payment Plan
(Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery of membership materials)
New Members to date: 46
Paper Form - (Check Payment)          

In celebration of our 35th Anniversary as the 2nd oldest NRA affiliated collectors' organization, the RCA is pleased to announce a new membership drive for 2010. In order to continue to grow our organization, the RCA staff has set a goal of obtaining 50 new annual or life members by the end of 2010.

In order to encourage new Life memberships, the RCA will be offering a discounted rate of $350 (vs. $450 current rate) for any members that sign up for a life membership prior the Tulsa Show in November, 2010. After the Show, the life membership rate will return to the current $450 rate.

In order to help facilitate new Life memberships, a payment plan will be available. A $75 payment is due in each of the months of August, September, October and November, and a $50 payment is due by the end of December, for a total of $350.

As part of this membership drive, any new annual members that sign up during the period will receive the last journal as part of their "Starter Kit" instead of only receiving one Journal, per the current process.

Any current RCA member that signs up 4 new members will receive a free one-year extension to their membership.

Our goal of 50 new members, annual or life, amounts to basically one new member per week, or 4 new members a month. This is a very achievable goal if every current member seeks to sign up one new member in 2010.

Progress against our goal will be posted on the front page of this website and will be updated monthly for all members to keep abreast of our progress.


The RCA is pleased that Leadership Team members Donnie Findley, Bill Hamm, Matt Olivier and Lee Sundermeier have decided to show their commitment and dedication to the RCA by becoming Life Members during our 2010 Membership Drive. Also, having already signed up 4 new members, RCA member Rick Verzal will receive a complimentary one-year extension to his membership. We thank Donnie, Bill, Matt, Lee and Rick for their commitment in helping our organization and their continuing commitment to Ruger collecting.

We are also very excited to receive the feedback that our new easy payment options on our website are well received. We look forward to hearing from more of our membership on ideas for the continuous improvement of our organization, our website, our Journals and our Display Shows.


RUGER COLLECTORS' ASSOCIATION


Co-founded in 1975 by the late Stephen K. Vogel and John R. Hansen, Jr., the Ruger Collectors' Association is an independent organization of Ruger collectors, not affiliated with or sponsored by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. The association's members are dedicated to the study and preservation of Ruger firearms and memorabilia while promoting camaraderie and fellowship among those interested in collecting and exchanging information about these firearms.

The RCA publishes a quarterly journal, known as The Ruger Collectors' Journal, and regularly displays at the NRA and other major shows. From time to time special issues of Ruger firearms have been produced for and purchased by the RCA, and offered exclusively to its members. The current headquarters are at P. O. Box 240, Green Farms, CT 06838.
