    Shipping Services

    Has anyone used a service like Shipmygun.com or similar? Last time I sent a handgun, FedEx wanted well over $100 to ship it. I'm getting ready to sell a couple of my 327s and need a more economical option. Any feedback on shipping services is welcome.

    Ruger #3 Scope Bases

    You can get new bases from ShopRuger.com. They are the same bases as those used on the No. 1V.

    Ruger #3 Customize

    You might take a look at what RJ Renner does with the No. 3. I had him give my 30-40 No. 3 his "Saddle Rifle" treatment and it's a big improvement in handling and feel. As part of the mod, he slightly changed the end of the lever to provide more finger room and I find it much more comfortable...

    6.5x55 ammo

    A surprisingly accurate bullet in this cartridge is the 155 grain Lapua Mega. It produces very consistent, tight groups when I've tried it. For reasonably priced factory ammo, I had success with Prvi, but haven't checked their prices lately.

    New Number 1 variations at Lipseys

    If anyone has received their new K1A, K1S, or K1RSI from this latest run of stainless/walnut models, I'd be interested to know if the grip cap is blue or silver/stainless. I'm looking for a silver/stainless cap to restore an older K1A to it's original configuration, and the parts department at...

    No. 1 Grip Cap

    I found a good deal on K1A in 35 Whelen a couple of years ago. The previous owner had apparently swapped the butt stock out to another rifle and mine has a blue pistol grip cap and sling stud. No doubt that's part of the reason the price was attractive. I'd like to replace the grip cap and...

    SP101 - machining differences between 1993 & 2017 production

    Looked at mine last night and it's the same thing. I wonder now if anyone has one that's not like this. It's also a little embarrassing that I didn't notice it on mine until this thread came up.

    SP101 - machining differences between 1993 & 2017 production

    Your new one doesn't look like the picture on the Ruger website, either. Most of the pictures on the SP-101 page are from the starboard side of the gun, but the photo at the top of the page shows the port side and it does not exhibit the same surface features as your gun. To me that's grounds...
