i still have a takeoff 30-40 barrel from a ruger #3 that i planned to make into a serviceable shooter but never found a #3 that i would work on. guys that have them think they're a friggin retirement plan all their own and ask ridiculous money for them. i cant see paying more for a dinged up #3 than a perfectly serviceable #1.

Our God reigns.
Harrumph!!!
