# 1 in odd caliber

[Psb1911]

A local pawn shop has a Ruger #1 in 219 Donaldson Wasp caliber! Looks like a factory barrel to me as it has all the rollmarks. Figure I would ask the experts?

Not a factory caliber.

I have a martini-henry single shot in the caliber and I handload for it.

Hi not factory for sure some old timer must have had his stash of wasp stuff hanging around and decided to get nostalgic they just shortened up a 22 caliber barrel (22 hornet 222 22 250 220 swift) and rechambered it sounds like a good base for a custom where is it located ?

I'd probably take $1200.00 for it if I was to sell it.
