The following link provides the best info as to why Ruger is so afraid of Magnuson Moss:

MLM Law - Understanding the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act- Attorney Specializing in Multilevel Marketing and Direct Selling Reese, Poyfair, Richards

Plain and simple-if Ruger puts something in writing THEY are committed, and the Company would not be able to tell someone to go pound sand when an issue arises with not just a single gun but an entire series of guns which are , relatively speaking-new.

More incredible is that so many are so willing to spend so much of their hard earned cash on a product which only carries the following language in writing with regard to how the Company will respond WHEN issues arise:

"Sturm, Ruger & Company wishes to assure its customers of its continued -interest- in providing service to owners of Ruger firearms"

Why anyone would choose Ruger over Smith is incomprehensible to me.
