Description : 12 Apr, 2023
RUGER AND HIS GUNS: A History of the Man, the Company and Their Firearms by R.l. Wilson Lavishly illustrated with nearly 300 photographs, this is plete, authoritative history of the world-famous Ruger firearms by the author of The Colt Heritage, Steel Canvas and Winchester: The Golden Age. This beautifully presented work joins R.L. Wilson's other firearms classics as a tribute to the art and craftsmanship, history, and romance of fine guns. R.l. Wilson traces the history of the world-famous Ruger firearms, from William B. Ruger's humble 1949 start through 1995, when pany manufactured more than 600,000 firearms.
As this volume amply illustrates, Ruger is undoubtedly the most innovative American firearms designer and manufacturer of the latter 20th century and could honestly be described as a living legend in that field. As the subtitle states, this heavily illustrated volume offers a multifaceted portrait of the man and his creations. Ruger built his firearms empire by marrying the old-fashioned with the modern and improved on standard designs by pioneers Colt and Browning to produce high-quality shooting irons at reasonable prices. But along with ingenuity in design, it also took a certain bravery to release single-action handguns and single-shot rifles in a market dominated by double-action and semiautomatic weapons. His gamble, however, paid off. Wilson offers much biographical information on Ruger plus the background, history, and statistics for each firearm made by Sturm, Ruger & Co., with numerous superb color photographs. Includes serial numbers for all models by years of manufacture. 185 full color and 100 b&w photos.
