We said we'd never do it, but---RATS BADGES????????

When Annie Lee & I started this Rugers RATS thing, we parleyed & pondered long about RATS badges.  
We decided it would be a royal pain.  So we said RATS membership is for life & FREE.  No charge---No Badges.

But after the RATS Outfit caught on---I had a couple made up (one for her & one for me) as Christmas presents.  Sadly Annie passed away just before the two badges were done.

I am ponderin' gettin' RATS badges made again.

Please let me know who would be interested in a badge.  The charge would be $95.00 as long as the builder will still do 'em.  The logo (enameled Ruger Eagle) would have to be attached by the owner.  Ruger ain't blessed us off yet to do it.  But I have asked.

So RATS Pards who are interested----contact me here on the forum.  If we have enough interest---It'll probably happen.

Here's what they'd look like.  
"RATS POSSE" or "DIRTY RATS" on top line.  
"YOUR ALIAS" on bottom line.

I think it's a GREAT idea

I'd wear one proudly.

[Dakota Dan from OZ]

Yes, I'll wear one here Downunder as a Proud Ruger owner

A RATS Badge is a great idea.  Count me in. I would be proud to display my loyalty to Ruger.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Great idea Gregg! I'd like to own one.

[knucklehead]

I want one too.

would it possible for em to say "diry rat"?

if you do make these available, will the red ruger pin be included with the badge ready to assemble or would each person have to provide their own ruger pin?

[Mustang Gregg]

I have a bunch of the RUGER EAGLE enameled centers on hand (maybe 10 or 15). 
If we do this, I'd just include them in the first batch of badges (until they run out).  So they would be free to the first wave of RATS badge owners.

As far as the DIRTY RATS engravin', I'll have to check. 
I don't know if they would hit me for an extry engravin' charge or not.            

I will just leave this post open & see what kinda response we get.
Then if we get a lotta requests, I'll give out my address to send checks to.
Delivery time was 8 weeks one the first order.

I'd go fer two since me and the hubby both be RATS and friends of Annie's.

[Roon Dog]

I would sure like one to!!

[Mustang Gregg]

Email me for a pre-made order form. 
I reckon I have the details figgered out now.

Email address:
mustanggregg@neb.rr.com

Or better yet: 
Here (below) is an order form to print off & mail!

There is a problem communicating with the CAS City server computer. 
I can modify the address, but cannot modify the price.  Anyhoo, the price is now $85.00 each including the shipping.

[Mustang Gregg]

I have made a correction:
Please make the checks to just "GREGG CLEMENT".
Not "MUSTANG GREGG CLEMENT".

My mistake.

Dr. Cletus Pineboxx:

There have been several ordered so far.  I expect the first shipment to get to me by early May. I got home from Tucson & Tombstone the other day & I have several more letters with orderes to process.

If ye want one, there is an order blank on the 1st post.  Please use it.  I can't do it by email or phone.

We got the first 3 badges in.
They are:  Knuckelhead, Calamity JoAnne & Will Brigand.
I will attach the Ruger eagles & ship them out tomorrow.

EDIT:  Eagles are on & they will go out on the mornin' Phony Express (US Mail).

[WHSKYRUNER]

What's the charge? And where do I send my gold dust/

[Mustang Gregg]

I recollect it is $85.00 delivered. 
See this same thread above for the order blank.

[NMOutlawCuz]

Will send mine in as soon as funds to do so are obtained.

[Doc Burns]

Sent you a pm because I can't download the form.

[Mustang Gregg]

I will send you a form by email.

[Mustang Gregg]

I just found out that the badge manufacturers' price went up in January and so did  USPS & UPS.   

Damn it!  They upped the shipping and the badge prices on me again. 
They say it is because of the metals markets & fuel surcharges. 

I will modify the order form to reflect $85.00 total cost, instead of $75.00. 
Let's just make the change effective on 01 FEB 2008.

Manassas Jack, I will honor your order with the older price.  And any others that get to me before the end of the week. 

Your Pard,
MG

Howdy MG......well I've been ponderin' this badge order form and even through I was able to do it at least once (I have my badge!!) I just can't seem to be able to get back there.  I am at the "we said we'd never do it again,but...." page, from the top all the way down to the bottom where it say 'here is an order form to print & mail!'..........but I just cain't find it!!!!!!  Best of luck on your current duty assignment...............and yes my badge did arrive BEFORE Christmas!!.....................take care...........Limpin'

[Mustang Gregg]

Manassas Jack:

I just got your order.  The process will begin today.

EDIT:
BTW:  The badges will have to go up to $85.00 to break even.  Yours will be fine, though, Bob!

[Mick McCrady]

Howdy MG,

I'll take one too!!!!!  Downloaded the form and after you email the go ahead, I'll mail you a check for $85.00.  I am also a member of "ROBS".  It was started a couple of years ago called the "Royal Order of Bisley Shooters."  Thanks again for the interest in Ruger Shooters.
