Options in regard to rebarreling the #1….who does this kind of thing well? The only outfit I know who says they do and will is Pac-Nor. Anyone have them do it? Do they drill and tap the needed holes for replacing scope/sight mounting hardware? Are their chrome-moly steel jobs finished (blued)? (I've only had them do stainless; always been very pleased.) Who are some of the others who re-work #1s?

(Yeah, I wouldn't ask if I didn't have a couple extras on hand. eek )

I'd like to see a few more Ruger results before I pay to have another one reamed out.

Mark Penrod did a full custom for me and is doing another simple re barrel for me now


My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all my gear for what I said I paid for it.

JES won't touch rugers last I talked to him.

The rebore he did on my Rem fouls like crazy, and doesn't shoot well with Barnes bullets. Its ok, but not great. Has 4 coats of Ultra Bore Coat in it already too....

Though I have had bad luck with 338 barrels fouling anyway...

I'll never rebore anotehr I know that.

This is my stainless Ruger rebore...not a JES example however. It shoots jacketed 250s plenty close together - amazingly enough- with 4350, so it is a very sufficient one load, grab-n-go rifle. It sure is ugly though. (If the fellow had cut the barrel shorter as we had originally discussed, and bead-blasted the exterior, I wouldn't have been able to see these trenches or the heat-induced color that the barrel took around the same area. eek )

I had Ruger do mine!

I wore out the barrel on my #1A 7mm RM and asked them to re-barrel it.

They said ok and I sent it up to them. Then they wrote back that they did not have any more 7mm RM barrels for the 7mm RM 1A (22").

What I had wanted all along was the 30-06 anyway and that's what they did for me! cool

I got one of the first #1's and had ordered a 30-06. When it came it they said to take it or leave it as everybody wants one!

To add that Ruger did not charge a lot for the re-barrel, did the work promptly and even returned the old barrel.

I got the original type sights on the rifle on the ramp. smile

I wonder it's they'd happen to have a 218 in a 1-A contour, or a 225 Winchester? grin (If what I wanted was just a barrel, I'd just twist on one of the extras I have around. wink )

Call them up and ask them what they have.

They are great people and really make the goods.

I was a purchasing agent for a very large Co. and bought castings from their Pine Tree foundry in N.H. and in fact been there and toured it.

My old #1 that Ruger did is still original. It's a RUGER barrel with all the markings, bluing and sights.

Ruger contact.
