Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Reports Strong First Quarter Bookings
March 21, 2012
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), announced today that for the first quarter 2012, the Company has received orders for more than one million units. Therefore, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.
Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Fifer made the following comments:
The Company's Retailer Programs that were offered from January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012 were very successful and generated significant orders from retailers to independent wholesale distributors for Ruger firearms.
Year-to-date, the independent wholesale distributors placed orders with the Company for more than one million Ruger firearms.
Despite the Company's continuing successful efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders. Consequently, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.
The Company expects to resume the normal acceptance of orders by the end of May 2012.
The Company will announce its results and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012 on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, after the close of the stock market. [b]Year-to-date, the independent wholesale distributors placed orders with the Company for more than one million Ruger firearms.

turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Obama getting re-elected, and the economy is slowly coming out of the dumps.
When democrats have nothing better to do they go after guns.

Those employees are probably getting mandated overtime.
I loved and hated working in a factories when there was so much business that they forced you to work overtime.
The money was great but after a few weeks of it you are ready for a day off.

i assume by government subsidies you mean DIRECT government subsidies right?
i have about $300k of supplies i DO NOT need (nor have room to store) that i am being forced to take because the government decided to spend money on a couple companies that are failing...we are getting the smallest shipment.
some of the stuff even violates mandatory source regulations.

how do you feel about spending taxpayer money on UNICOR supplies that prisons do not need just to keep UNICOR in operation?
millions were spent AFTER prisons stocked up on what they needed.
i cant wait to see what they do next year as many prisons ended up with a 2 year supply.
either UNICOR completely fails next year or prisons dispose of perfectly good taxpayer funded equipment/supplies.
sure UNICOR is a government business, but should they get bailed out at the cost of the taxpayer?

The prison industry is the 2nd biggest cottage industry in the US behind the military industrial complex.
States spend 2x 3x and sometimes 4x the dollars for the care of prisoners than it does per student.

I have lost track of the threads he has run away from me on. And that's only me. I'm not one of the top ten political people on acf.
He won't respond. He will ignore and run away with his hypocritical tail tucked between his legs. Don't worry about it, you know you won.

Dunno too much about them but if they manufacture in the US I am happy for this news and hope they can employ more people to provide what people want.
