A dream of many, a Ruger No.1 in 222............tis a fine rifle I am sure. I have been thinking of rebarreling a donor to 222 for a good while, but as you know, life is life. The picture you showed, shows the sear/hammer engagement screw that triggers used to feature, but the lawyer market got...

Ruger quarter ribs really come in two basic styles..............for scope only............and for scope/and/or iron sights. The iron sighted models, s, a etc have a dovetail milled with gib support for their little folding rearsight, the B for instance has no such dovetail/gib arrangement. If...

The little folding rear sight on the quarter rib is held in place via a Williams gib and screw. These two parts are not often shown on gun schematics pictorially. Looking from the top of the rear sight area of the quarter rib, you will will see one screw in the gib(small circular part with one...

One would suspect that an outfit like McMaster-Carr has this type of screw. Have to buy in some quantity, and go thru all the small differences in some of the head profiles, but bet it is there. No blued I would guess as well, but to some is a moot point. The factory ones are high I think, but...

Brownells is a source for these screws. A bit pricey, but usually have them and they fit; just gotta choose the tall or short version which is evident from the rib view. Ruger quarter ribs have two studs and 4 screws(2 tall, 2 short). shorts are in the rear, talls in the front. Hard to believe...

The 6.5-06 has been around a long, long time. Nothing too new about the attributes of the 264 diameter and the bullets thereof. A lot of folks think the 6.5-06 is about as good as it gets in a lot of ways, recoil is mild to most. Hope you enjoy it.............I know you will.............. :)...

I suspect as others that the new cartridge is aimed at the semi-auto rifle market, in particular the AR15 length. Not a new idea, but finally has come to more exposure. I see that Starline is offering 223 basic brass for the wildcatters, a natural for the new one probably. Kinda a whisper mag...

I would suspect that you have the 22" model. With that said, barrel makers like Lilja have a mulitude of custom and factory tapers in their data bases............usually if the taper is in their system, no charge. If not...........30-50 bucks one time gets it put in. Of course, a gunsmith can...

After some no.1 rimfire time, I feel that the offset firing pin in the breechblock is the way to go. Just my own opinion there. If the lifting arm is shortened, one has to keep the geometry proper as the breechblock has some surfaces to worry about when in locked condition. One can get vertical...

Brownells has them in stock.

The "B" kinda indicates that the rib was intended for the factory Ruger No.1B sporter barrel, about 1.2" at the receiver, 26" long, and about 0.640"-ish at the muzzle. Probably had a beavertail forend as well. Getting the rib off can be a fun deal, congrats on getting it off. New screws are...

I suspect that most would equate the power of the 357 Bain & Davis to the 357 Maximum. As you know, one pass of 44 mag brass thru a B&D sizing die forms the B&D case pretty well. There has been two B&D's as I recall, only difference in shoulders. I have not done a B&D on a rifle, but do have a...

If you are looking at a 1B taper type barrel...........but want to add the front banded sight ala the 1S types(218 bee, 7mag etc).......then............780-001-167 is a reference to a Brownell's number. Take a look and see if it fits your requirements. If you are referring to a 45-70, then this...

No.1 hornets have been made by Ruger in the medium sporter and light sporter types.

The 357 mag No.1 is a niche gun. Resale of pistol caliber No.1's is getting stronger. I believe the action is worth $450-$500 and most wood about 100 bucks if plain. so kinda your number is on the top end of some limits but probably doable for some buyers. The stock and action is quite...
