I remember most of your post from back then. I know people who to this day will not buy anything from Ruger. Still hard to believe such a big name and innovator in the industry would have such short sighted moronic views. But I think Bill Ruger was one of those guys who was on the sporting/hunting end of the business and considered the rest of us fringe kooks. I'm sure if he was still around there would never have been any Ruger branded ARs.
To me it's just simple arrogance that people in the same industry would have such views about the rest of us. You know those guys with the high end over and unders in the velvet lined cases. Or the Weatherby/ trophy Hunter types. Those were the guys with the same opinions as Bill Ruger. Better off without them.
