Ruger announced this morning that they will be adding a third manufacturing facility in Mayodan, NC. The deal should be finalized next month. This will be a new facility not a relocation of current manufacturing. So looks like there will be more Rugers on the shelves for us all sometime soon.

I'm really glad to see another Ruger plant. Maybe they can catch up on all there orders ... Wonder If those will say NC on the side ?
Yeah they will say NC on them. No word about what model lines they will be making at the new facility. Currently all the long guns and revolvers are made in NH and all the semi auto pistols in AZ.
Seeing as Ruger doesn't make any ammo, I wouldn't suggest holding your breath on that. It's coming back I am seeing more and more on the shelves each week, prices are coming back down as well.
