Yeah, recoil in this type of rifle chambering. I should have mentioned it...........guess such is not always obvious to all folks. For years I shot the 22/45's(long and short), 6x47's, and to some degree the PPC's...........in the three BR classes for the most part free recoil. The 40x and...

I own a factory 40xb in 7mmRemMag, tis a single shot, short action. I have never seen anything but short actions in the 40x line, but one can never say never. You have to remove the bolt in my rifle, if you try to extract an unfired cartridge. I have nowhere to shoot 1000yds, but have a...

#12 x 24tpi for the action screws in my 77/22 hornet

I have heard of drilling a hole in the hammer(hard stuff) and putting in a rollpin or stud(filed to one's needs) to control the sear/hammer engagement......kinda like the old Marlin 39's. Can one drill/tap the newer triggers for the sear engagement? For some reason I thought that portion of the...

Tom, I would not feel like the lone arranger with how some no.1's shoot.... :-) Some are quite fussy it seems. I too have read on the internet about enhancements for accuracy, sure a lot of hard earned facts huh? As you know the first thing about a No.1 is its cosmetics, a heavy target gun it...

You might touch base with NECG, New England Custom Gun; click on scope mounts on the left side of their site.

Thanks for everyone's time and effort with my query. Rick W.

Thanks for some numbers. Yardages these were shot at? Is 50yds a good assumption?

I was curious about what a rimfire benchrest rifle can do for group with selected components and on a good typical day? I tried to look at the results from some shoots, but got confused on what was what with all the numbers. Is one of these rifles capable of shooting a 5 shot 1/4" at 50yd...

In rebarreling a No.1, I would suggest looking at the various barrel blank makers on the home page of this forum as a starting point. Most offer contouring services to match your particular foreend if that is a requirement. Lots easier for the vendor to do the contouring, than your gunsmith...

I too admire the pre64 model 70, like a lot of other folks. I have managed to stay out of the collector guns lately and managed to buy a few pre 64 model 70 rifles in the 400-500 dollar range. Like yours, they have some wear and tear, but at least was able to own the rifles and not mortage the...

Dennis, I have considered using a barrel liner for a Ruger No.1 conversion to rimfire as a project. I was wanting to use the factory barrel. I looked at an internet site that has PTG piloted drills but smallest diameter was 3/8" and all the rimfire liners I could find were 5/16", so thinking I...

When I started rebarreling my No.1's, I too worried about the possible issues with grabbing the factory barrel ahead of the hanger. Guess kinda up to the individual needs/wants. I made up a simple barrel vise from a book(mulit-piece style), that would allow for conventional barrel bushings or...

Just a comment. If the cut in the back of the barrel is to the right far enough(action vertical line for the extractor or a visual of the hook into the empty chamber) and the hook is long enough/shaped right; then one might take a look at the left/right movement of the extractor. New Ruger piece...
