<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Sturm, Ruger
 &amp; Company, Inc. (&ldquo;Ruger&rdquo;) for calendar year 2018 (&ldquo;Reporting Period&rdquo;) in accordance with Rule 13p-1
(&ldquo;Rule 13p-1&rdquo;) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 13p-1 and Form SD require the disclosure of certain
information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products in which certain &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; (as
defined below) are present and necessary to the functionality of such products. &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; are defined as
cassiterite, wolframite, columbite-tantalite, gold, and their derivatives, which are tin, tungsten, and tantalum (&ldquo;3TG&rdquo;)
mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in the adjoining countries (&ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). This report has
been prepared by management of Ruger, and includes the activities of all divisions, which we are required to consolidate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">Ruger is one of the nation&rsquo;s leading manufacturers
of rugged, reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market. The only full-line manufacturer of American-made firearms, Ruger
offers consumers over 400 variations of more than 30 product lines. For more than 60 years, Ruger has been a model of corporate
and community responsibility. Our motto, &ldquo;Arms Makers for Responsible Citizens,&rdquo; echoes the importance of these principles
as we work hard to deliver quality and innovative firearms. Ruger has been in business since 1949 and was incorporated in its present
form under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1969. Ruger&rsquo;s principal executive office is located in Southport, CT, and
its manufacturing facilities are located in Mayodan, NC, Newport, NH, Prescott, AZ and Earth City, MO.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">The process outlined in this Conflict Minerals Report
describes Ruger&rsquo;s efforts to comply with the mandates of Rule 13p-1.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">Ruger conducted a good faith Reasonable Country of
Origin Inquiry (&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) relating to 3TG contained within its products. This good faith RCOI was designed to determine
whether any 3TG used in Ruger products originates in the Covered Countries and/or comes from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">Ruger does not directly source any 3TG and is many
levels removed from the mining, smelting, and refining processes. We therefore have very limited influence over these upstream
suppliers. As a result, Ruger relies upon its direct suppliers to obtain information regarding the origin of any 3TG that is contained
within Ruger&rsquo;s products, including where possible, the smelters of the 3TG. Similarly, many of Ruger&rsquo;s suppliers depend
on their suppliers for this information. Ruger&rsquo;s report is limited by the information regarding the source of 3TG provided
by its suppliers. Ruger does not purchase raw ore or unrefined 3TG and makes no purchases in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">As the first step in the good faith RCOI, Ruger worked
to identify suppliers which were potentially providing materials and components that contain 3TG. This list has been refined over
the last several years. Ruger reached out to each identified supplier and: (i) described the reporting obligations imposed by Section
1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and (ii) requested information regarding the presence and
sourcing of 3TG used in the materials and components supplied to the Company during the Reporting Period. Suppliers were asked
to provide this information through the use of the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">Ruger engaged further with suppliers, as needed, to
ensure that the request was understood and complied with. Ruger then compared the smelters and refiners identified in the supply-chain
survey against the list of smelter facilities which have been identified as Conflict Free by programs such as the EICC/GeSI Conflict
Free Smelter program for 3TG. To the extent that additional information was required, Ruger followed up with various suppliers
and sought additional detail.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">After conducting a good faith inquiry, Ruger has been
unable to identify all smelters and refiners in its supply chain and the source of any 3TG that may appear in its products. The
majority of Ruger&rsquo;s suppliers have reported to Ruger that the materials they provide to Ruger either derive from recycled
sources or do not contain 3TG that originates in the Covered Countries. A small number of suppliers have been unable to obtain
100% compliance from their supply chain, and therefore have not been able to provide complete responses. However, the information
they provided does not appear to indicate that any of the materials these vendors supply to Ruger is derived from 3TG which originates
in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 10pt 0pt 0">Based upon the incomplete information received from
its supply chain, Ruger has no reason to believe that any of the materials contained within its products contains 3TG which originates
in Covered Countries. Ruger makes this determination based upon information provided by its suppliers, which has been evaluated
and subjected to the above-described due diligence process.</P>
