THAT'S the good new. The bad new is "as of today we have NO #1 parts on hand". So if you want a replacement barrel, a barrel band for an "S" or an AH forearm for an "A" barrel they are simply no longer available as are most other parts, period.
What MIGHT be available in the future AFTER Lipsey decides what they want and how they and the factory work out "parts'. That "will determine parts availability in the future" and will be based on what lipseys and Ruger work out
At this moment there are nearly zero parts on hand for the #1. I bought 3 barrel band slings for the "A" barrel before X-mas in anticipation of converting a couple, 204 AND 223 "AB"s INTO AHs FOR Walk AROUND Varmint rifles. Called to arrange shipping to get the AH forearms installed. Sorry, we have NONE in stock at this time. Only barrel band is the one that fits the "C" barreled 45-70.
"All available parts were assembled and shipped prior to years end" Look for a few odd ball or one offs to come out in the near future. The bean counters viewed unused parts as unsold rifles so................
The new "list"is fine, Thanks Jason. But I already built a 20" "B" barreled 7-08 and or own most of the rest or at least the cartridge and while I'll probably Will buy a 1:8 twist 223, it'll be a 22-250 AI before a round ever goes down the tube.
Jason, while your tinkering with the Weatherby cartridges, think a 240 to go with the 270 and 300. i SUSPECT it'll get fired far more at game than the other two combined and one of the few NEW #1s I'd buy. ;-)
the best
