   *** UPDATE - 7 May 2023 ***

!!!! MANY CARBINES NOW 10% LOWER !!!!
(see "Estimates" below)

Please read the following before asking questions, requesting additional info, or making an offer. All inquiries and offers should include the inventory number to help avoid confusion.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
General Info
General Condition: Most as purchased by Larry. Some were collectables preserved for their history, some were Larry’s reference collection with parts exchanged.
Additional Info: May be available. Inquiries should be made using this forum's private message system.

Photos: Additional photos may be available.

Provenance: Provenance, history, etc. are an ongoing effort to match up. If not yet located they will be forwarded when found.

Certificates: Will be provided with each carbine, certifying an item is from the Larry Ruth Collection (inventory number is used for reference)

Questions
The descriptions that follow are somewhat brief and tend to be specific to the particular gun. Please submit questions or a desire to purchase by private message here on the forum.

“Estimates”
The “Estimates” are not a selling price. They are a best guess at a bare minimum for a starting point. While not a fixed selling price, estimates may still be the selling price if your offer is the only offer.

***Effective immediately, unless indicated as no discount or a value with a question mark, you can take 10% off all estimates shown here as a starting point for offers.***

Offers
Offers at 10% less than the estimated values shown are now the starting point.

Know up front those not sold here may eventually be offered on Gunbroker or by Rock Island Auctions with a starting bid lower than these estimates. You can try for a lower purchase price there but keep the competition in mind along with the fees and costs involved when using these auction sites. 

Reasonable offers only please, unreasonable will not be considered.

If more than one offer is received the sale will go to the highest offer. Offers and who made them are confidential to avoid bidding wars. There is no set time limit for offers but anticipate a week or two after posted below.

Offers should be made using this forum's private message system. Please be patient if we don't respond immediately. We will do our best.

Offers made will be considered a binding commitment. Backing out may nullify all offers you make. If this becomes too much conflict the item may go to an auction house for neutrality. Please keep in mind one of the goals in offering these to you here is to avoid the various fees charged by the auction houses/sites.

Payments & Shipments
Money order, cashiers check, or personal check with shipment after payment clears. Directions for which family member to make the payment out too and where to send it will be provided to the person with the highest offer, privately.

All firearms must go to an FFL or C&R (if eligible). Shipping is at cost and paid for by the buyer. The buyer will be provided with a total once we know the address the carbine will be shipped too. All carbines will be shipped via USPS Priority Registered Mail insured. This is the most secure means possible and not to be confused with "priority mail" as sometimes it can take a little longer depending on where the shipment is going.

Long Guns
ALL carbines/rifles will be shipped via USPS Priority Registered Mail and MUST be shipped to an FFL (or a C&R if eligible). If your FFL holder requires an FFL holder to ship the carbine to them there may be an additional FFL fee.

Handguns
Due to Federal laws and/or USPS, FedEx, and UPS policies handguns must be shipped by an FFL to an FFL. The FFL the family uses to ship handguns charges $50 per handgun. They also collect the shipping cost and insurance (at actual cost and often at a discounted rate). 

Parts & Accessories

The family has an eBay account for selling these items: https://www.ebay.com/usr/ruthintheoutfield. If a part, accessory, book, etc. you wish to purchase is listed on their eBay account, if it has no bids, contact us here and we may be able to make it happen.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The "Seller"
This forum and those who run it are not selling these carbines. This is simply an advertisement for those being sold by Larry's family. Possession, purchases, shipping, and costs are all handled by Larry's family.

Please work with us to make this as simple and up-front as possible for them, us, and you. Please be patient with responses to your questions and offers as this is time consuming work. Normally we'll get back to you the same day but sometimes it may take a day. Thanks much....

Jim
