There was previously some discussion in another thread about the barrel band sling swivel on the African rifles. Someone contacted Ruger and reported back that Ruger said the band was still a feature of the African and since then they have updated the pictures on the Ruger website to show all models with the barrel band. Rifles must have been produced for awhile anyway without the band, because all the Alaskans i've inquired on on the auction sites do not have the barrel band.
I want a 416 Alaskan with the barrel band. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks!
