SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization: Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) is principally engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of firearms to domestic customers. Virtually all of the Company's sales for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 were firearms sales, with casting sales representing approximately 1% of sales. Export sales represent approximately 4% of total sales. The Company's design and manufacturing operations are located in the United States and almost all product content is domestic. The Company's firearms are sold through a select number of independent wholesale distributors principally to the commercial sporting market. The Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary manufacture investment castings made from steel alloys and metal injection molding (“MIM”) parts for internal use in the Company's firearms and utilize available investment casting and MIM capacity to manufacture and sell castings and MIM parts to unaffiliated, third-party customers. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
