No official word from Ruger, but if this is true it is a complete kick in the ‘nads.

I’ve seen and heard the same thing. From what I’ve gathered it’s a reaction to their foundry not making margins.

My son sent me something about it yesterday. I didn’t find anything on Ruger’s website.

I’m hoping they’re just selling down inventory. I don’t figure guns are selling that well in this economy right now.

If true. I’m sad. Very sad.

Same. I was going to get a GP100 and an LCR after the first of the year.
And now the gouging on used models will commence!

Yep.
I have some Ruger’s I was going to let go. Not anymore!!!

Lipseys will be hit hard by this. Hey Smith, here’s your chance to do something!

Crap, what does that even leave IN production?

Now I don't know how true, but I saw a comment this morning that said they are just planning to move EVERYTHING from Newport and write it off.

Plastic and pot metal.

And Marlin.

I've seen this on 3 different forums, and NO ONE has been able to show a source that isn't basically, "______ heard from Ruger..."

Why hasn't someone posted the actual email/notification FROM Ruger?

Until I see something actually from Ruger, or on their site, I'm thinking BS.

Sure, I could be/possibly am, wrong. c'est la vie

Well, I have everything on there list that I want and multiples of some. So, I’m set. It’s just a shame for the consumer. Hopefully it’s rectified at some point.

Could this have anything to do with the "takeover rumors" from Beretta?

According to the article/website/forum that I posted a link to, this is not about Beretta. The 2 companies have apparently decided to play nice right now.

According to that source, Ruger has done better financially than I expected. Revenue is up plus no debt.

Apparently this is coming from more than 1 distributor. And it’s not the 1st time Ruger has done this.

Okay, I'll take NRA as a legit source

I bet this has something to do with this….from Ruger’s website.

Shareholders have **** up many a good company.

Well that sure is a lot of words to say they met the needs of whatever agreement they had with Beretta a month early. And whatever Mays plan is, is going forward.

Auction prices on GP-100s just shot through the roof...

Quickest way of cleaning inventory and boosting sales.
Shareholders are going to cash in
Stock will downfall....then they'll rebuy

Bet a lot of insider bucks were made this week
