Looks like Ruger is counting down to something new…

I know Tom Gresham made a remark on Gun Talk about Ruger reintroducing a folding stock option and 30 round magazines for their Mini 14 series. I haven’t a clue if that’s what this count down is for but I believe so.
Rumors floating around the web also say Ruger could be introducing an AR-15.
Eek. Based on their crappy mini-14, and theircrappy pistols and revolvers (their LCP and SR9 have had recalls because they were unsafe), I’d stay away from their new products. Not to mention their lame pandering to the government when it came to RKBA during the 90’s. They were making their pistols in 10 round capacity mags before they were even mandated under the Crime Bill.
I don’t know how they are now, but if they’re anything like they or S&W used to be, I’d stay away. They ain’t Barrett, that’s for sure.
I generally don’t put a whole lot of worry into Ruger recalling their guns. They seem to overreact a bit (which is good).
But then again I’ve had nothing but great luck with my Ruger 10/22 and my Father’s Ruger Single Six .22 hasn’t given a lick of trouble.
I can’t say much bad about them, they generally have good products for the price. And unlike Smith and Wesson I don’t believe Ruger have those damned integrated locks on their revolvers.
