Moe T Vator Posted May 26 Posted May 26 (edited) Howdy Pards, An American has never won the the Olympics in 10m Air Pistol. I intend to fix that. These Rugers are how I get there. The podium has been owned by Chinese and Russian athletes for decades, and the idea of that continuing on American soil in 2028 doesn't sit right with me. After leading Texas A&M to the Collegiate Championships in 2012, I'm returning to the firing line — this time to represent the United States as a whole. I'm selling my Ruger collection to fund the campaign, and the goal is to keep these in the SASS family. The Pistols — All Ruger .357 Magnum All Mechanically Stock: Serial Barrel Finish Price 37-19900 7 1/2" Blue (Bisley) $900 37-53669 7 1/2" Blue (Bisley) $900 510-73712 5 1/2" Blue $750 510-88081 5 1/2" Blue $750 511-14532 4 5/8" Stainless (Bead Blasted) $850 512-44326 4 5/8" Stainless $750 512-89115 5 1/2" Stainless $775 513-28106 4 5/8" Stainless $750 513-51978 5 1/2" Blue $750 513-52050 4 5/8" Blue $725 513-59998 4 5/8" Blue $725 56-60531 5 1/2" Blue (OMV) $700 Full collection: $9,325 — prefer to sell as a set. No Dremel jobs. No backyard smithing. No gunsmith specials. All prices include shipping from Central Texas to your FFL. Local pickup welcome and preferred. Shoot me a message and let's talk.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted May 26 Posted May 26 MTV, Best wishes in your Olympic shooting quest. That goal takes serious dedication, perseverance and sacrifice. If anyone can, a Marine can. Semper Fi ! 4 Quote
Say What Posted May 26 Posted May 26 (edited) My son and I are just getting into SASS and have been to two matches. We are looking for SS Vaqueros and I would love to discuss #7 and #9 with you. His 13th birthday is next month and I would love nothing more than to gift him some Rugers! Let's talk! Edited May 26 by Lawdog Personal info removed 1 Quote
Cherokee Bill Posted May 28 Posted May 28 OMG…. I posted a WTB last week for a pair of SS V’s in 4 5/8…… I’m interested 1 Quote
Moe T Vator Posted May 28 Author Posted May 28 Good morning all! First off, thanks everyone for the overwhelming support and encouragement. Apparently I need to get a funding page together ASAP. Secondly, the stainless, 4 & 5/8” seem to be exceptionally popular. I am still working to sell the collection as a whole for now. Pushing this btt in hopes of doing that. Quote
Moe T Vator Posted June 2 Author Posted June 2 The photo attached is from the World Cup in Munich last weekend. As you can see the United States didn’t even make the finals. It is our responsibility to bring the Red, White and Blue back to the podium. 1 Quote
Texas Maverick Posted June 14 Posted June 14 You should talk to Misty and see if SASS would be interested in some type of sponsorship. Would be a great way to get the SASS name noticed in an Olympic setting. Just a thought. TM 2 1 Quote

Texas Maverick Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Good point, I don't know what they allow. Vator, might check and see if you can find anything out before we move forward with Misty, TM Quote
Texas Maverick Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Find this info on Google: Yes, you can sponsor an individual Olympic athlete for the 2028 Games, but you cannot directly sponsor the official Olympic event or the overall Olympic team unless you become an official corporate sponsor through the LA28 Organizing Committee. [1, 2] You can sponsor an Olympic or Paralympic athlete through a few different methods: Direct Athlete Endorsement Deals: You can contract directly with individual athletes for personal sponsorships, such as paying them for appearances, social media posts, or gear endorsements. [1, 2] National Governing Bodies: You can provide funding to specific sport federations (e.g., USA Track & Field or USA Swimming) which directly support the athletes' training and travel. [1] Important Rules to Keep in Mind: Rule 40 Compliance: The International Olympic Committee has strict regulations called Rule 40, which govern what athletes can and cannot do during the Games. This restricts non-official sponsors from using Olympic trademarks (like the rings), Team USA branding, or specific Olympic terminology in their advertising during the blackout period. [1, 2, 3] No Official Association: Your sponsored athlete can wear your branded gear or feature your company in their personal campaigns, but your company cannot promote itself as the "Official Sponsor of the Olympic Games" or the "Official Partner of Team USA". [1] Do you know something else than this? TM 1 Quote
